During Create your career week, sessions delivered will aim to support participants to:
- Start career planning with advice from C&E
- Practice preparing professional documents for upcoming applications, interviews or creative projects you are focused on.

- Get access to resources and useful signposts to support you with your employability queries and needs.
These sessions are designed as a mix between lecture-style and participant-led workshops. Providing a space for you to not only gain (or renew) knowledge and insights for your employability, but to apply and tailor it to your creative career needs.
