Grads: Plan the Actions! Action the plans! Online co-working space

Ready to take charge of your creative career? This interactive online co-working session will give you the space to plan, act, and stay accountable as you build the foundations of your professional practice.

Purpose

• Practice strategies for managing independent work, research, and personal administrative tasks for even planning across your first year out of university.
• Discover your best approach to breaking big goals into manageable steps, creating an actionable career plan.
• Partake in shared focus time alongside peers in a supportive co-working environment, that offers space for mirrored working, replicating the freelance experience.
• Revist and work through the action plans from our workshop programme or graduate career one-to-ones.

What you will do:

• Complete your own self-set tasks or dive into curated resources (podcasts, webinars, toolkits).
• Build or develop a personal work plan with milestones and deadlines to keep yourself on track.
• Engage in peer check-ins for motivation, accountability, and confidence-building.

Who should attend?
Whether you benefit from the pressure of a timed period to work on a task, a shared space to work on something parallel to others, or a dedicated time to focus on creating and actioning plans you keep putting off, this co-working space and time is yours.

By the end, you’ll leave with a clear action plan, fresh strategies for time management, and the confidence to move forward in your creative journey.
