Creative Start is a new programme from LIFT and Better Space that matches people looking to gain experience in the creative sector with local businesses, alongside a program of specially designed learning from City, University of London.
The programme has been developed to support people who want to start a new career in creating digital content. We’re offering ten paid placements, with a focus on Graphic Design or Video Content Production, each paying London Living Wage (£11.05 per hour). Through Creative Start, successful candidates will have access to a 12-week work and study programme.
We will provide mentoring and coaching throughout the internship journey and offer ongoing support at the end of the placement to help plan the next steps in the creative sector.
