Career Development
In 2005 we launched the first Higher Rhythm Creative Careers Programme as part of the Equal last mile development partnership South Yorkshire, working with a range of other organisations across the region to support people into careers within the creative industries. Some of our project beneficiaries are in our case studies portal, but in summary, from a total of 20 people, 18 moved onto work within the creative industries which underlined the success of the initial programme.
We now combine the best elements of the Creative Careers Programme throughout all of our training and development programmes, and through supporting this with elements such as artist development, volunteering oportunities and personal advice sessions, we continue to support people to reach their career goals.
Careers / enterprise development is also the key focus of Plugged In Yorkshire the region's first music business industry network, which we now lead alongside partner Generator
Plugged In Yorkshire is FREE TO JOIN providing support for regional music industry through events, seminars, advice and networking opportunites, accessible to all network members.
The investment to support the Network is from Yorkshire Forward and managed by Screen Yorkshire with addtional support from Arts Council England
Plugged In therefore places Higher Rhythm at the very centre of regional music
