An opportunity for school students to discover the creative industries and build their professional skills through this free Virtual Work Experience event.

Bookings for this year's edition are now open!

We are excited to announce our Virtual Work Experience event, which will be taking place on Tuesday 12th July 2022.

The Catch 22 surrounding work experience can seem impossible to overcome. To get a job, you need experience, but to gain experience, you need a job.  

Our virtual work experience programme is here to help you break out of this loop by boosting your employability, building new skills in VFX, Animation and Games, introducing you to new contacts and expanding your professional network in the creative industry. 

You will take part in activities designed to challenge, inspire and expand your knowledge. Our invited guest speakers will share their own stories of breaking into the world of work, letting you in on secrets that helped them secure their first job. 

This is an exciting opportunity for you to boost the impact your CV will have on future employers. A FREE course tailored to help YOU land your first job, all from the comfort of your own home. Don't miss out...
