Access Industry mentoring scheme

Only 11% of individuals in the creative industries come from ethnic minority backgrounds, and a mere 5% hold leadership roles. Additionally, just 27% of people in these industries are from working-class backgrounds.

Our new mentorship programme offers the chance for students from underrepresented groups to forge human connections with industry professionals and help them navigate their way into the creative Industries.
