Autumn Newsletter from Discover! Creative Careers

Be one of the first to try out our new eLearning Module

Launching in October 

This year, we launch a free, online training module for careers advisors and teachers which will provide an overview of creative industry opportunities, giving sector-specific hints and tips to share with students. The eLearning module is an exciting addition to our programme and will be supported by resources and weblinks for use in the classroom.

We will be developing six regional modules that will build on this introduction and explore creative industry opportunities in specific areas of the UK. These will follow in early 2026.

As a newsletter subscriber, we would like to offer you the first look at the eLearning module when it launches in October - click below to register.
