ABOUT

We are offering young people the chance to gain a real feel for what it’s like behind the scenes in the world of theatre, music festivals, libraries, museums and more.

As part of the apprenticeship, you’ll be supporting the creation of festivals and events, helping with admin, developing tech skills, meeting creative and cultural professionals, and getting involved in projects that make Hull a brilliant place to live and visit.

So, if you are looking to start a career in the creative sector in your home city of Hull, then this is your chance!

Thank you to our main funders, Arts Council England, Esteem Consortium Hull and Hull City Council, as well as Supplytrain CIC and the HEY Smile Foundation, who have been integral in the employment of our apprentices.
