What is Thrive?
Thrive is a knowledge hub and a creative careers concept. The UK has one of the most diverse and vibrant creative landscapes with a wide range of career opportunities and pathways – but there are a number of misconceptions about a ‘creative career’.
Through our Thrive initiative, we have created an informative community for teachers, career advisors and students can explore their potential.
The Thrive Hub contains information about creative careers, pathway options, events, courses and qualifications. Amongst our resources are inspirational stories, advice for careers advisors, course pathways for students and the latest sector information.
Upcoming Events
Thrive: Creative Careers Conference 13 February 2019
Designed to empower careers advisors by providing clear information about creative pathways, our Thrive conferences bring together industry and academic speakers to discuss the current landscape of creative industries and creative education.
