Tate Professional Discover Creative Careers: Create Your Own Creative Studio!

This interactive online workshop is designed to help students explore the wide world of creative careers. Led by Stacey Jubb, Director of Tate Professional, it looks beyond well-known roles such as actor, artist or musician and introduces a broad mix of jobs in the creative industries, from game designers and sound engineers to video editors, lighting technicians, marketing managers and producers.

The session also explains how to get into creative work after Year 11. Students will learn about routes such as A levels, T Levels, BTECs, apprenticeships, degrees and freelancing, and see that there is no single right path into the sector.

Along the way, they will hear from people already working in creative roles and challenge common myths using real UK facts and figures.

Participants then put their ideas into action by working in teams to create their own creative company, whether that is a games studio, music festival or fashion label. They will decide who to hire, adapt to unexpected twists, and finish by pitching their studio to the group.

No previous experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to get involved.
