Horizons

12 Oct

Creative Industry Career Launchpad

Aged 16 to 27? If you are ready to embark on an inspiring journey of personal growth and learning we are thrilled to invite you to participate in this dynamic and transformative youth project.

Horizons is a creative industry mentoring and career development program for NSW regional youth. The project will run over 18 months and will support a total of 75 young people from across NSW.

Horizons is a state-wide regional project that provides direct intensive support to young people wanting to pursue a career in the creative industries. Our aim is to provide participants with new pathways to explore work and study opportunities in the creative industries.

Participants will be paired with an experienced mentor from their chosen field who is based in regional NSW. Each mentoring relationship will address the needs and interests of each individual and enable participants to connect into a network of peers to build strong state-wide networks early in their careers.

This is a project of the Regional Arts Network, made up of the 15 Regional Arts organisations across NSW, funded by the Office of Regional Youth through the Regional Youth Incentive Program.

Dates:
Experessions of Interest close: Friday 10 November 2023 at 5pm.
