The Power of Creativity – Opening the Doors to Meaningful Careers
Are you passionate about supporting young people in their careers? Curious about creativity? Then we’d love you to join us for a free online webinar on 30 October 2025, 4pm-5pm.
The event, hosted by NEC and Artswork, will challenge some of the most common preconceptions about creative careers, exploring the ways in which creativity powers innovation across sectors – not just the arts.
Through discussion and real world examples, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the evolving creative landscape, non-linear career pathways, and the importance of transferable skills as young people navigate employment opportunities.
Our presenters will share practical tips and strategies to support young people in identifying – and communicating – their creative strengths with confidence. And look at how we can support them in overcoming some of the barriers they face.
Whether you are an educator, careers advisor or simply want to support your young person, this webinar will offer insight and encouragement as we explore the vast potential that creativity holds in transforming the lives and careers of our younger generation.
