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.
