"During my time on my apprenticeship, I have had various opportunities to take part in different projects and work on each step of the processes. Being involved in a range of areas has allowed me to improve my skills and become more knowledgeable in areas I wasn’t too confident in."

Shanon Richie, Apprentice

"This programme will create even more opportunities for creative and cultural organisations to connect and collaborate across the region, and most importantly supporting employers to open-up pathways into this sector for young people in the north."

Gary Briggs, Factory International

“Apprenticeships are a brilliant way to help diverse talent to progress and I’m delighted that we are funding this project to support creative and cultural organisations to invest in their workforce in this way.”

Jane Tarr, Arts Council England

"This project, which has been supported with £100,000 of Government funding, will equip people from underrepresented backgrounds across the north of England with the skills they need to pursue fulfilling creative careers."

Creative Industries Minister

“Our vision for this project is to recruit, train and develop diverse talent and drive opportunities for greater representation from entry level roles through to leadership, ensuring that apprentices and employers are supported throughout.”
