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 regional creative industries. A few of our project beneficiaries are listed in our case studies portal, but in summary, from a total of 20 people, 18 moved onto work full time within the creative industries which underlines the success of the initial programme.
We have now combined the best elements of the Creative Careers Programme into key stages throughout all of higher rhythm's training and development programmes, and through supporting this with elements such as artist development, volunteering oportunities and personal tutorial sessions, we continue to support people to reach their career goals.
Careers / enterprise development is also the key focus of our industry events / promotions arm, The Music Week where we continue to invest in music industry development through events, such as the annual Doncaster Music Week an exciting week of free seminars and events at venues across the town allowing local aspiring industry professionals to gain a unique insight into how to get ahead in the music industry.
The Music Week has evolved into an important 'hub' to provide access exclusive gigs / industry events and generally keep in touch with what's happening in the music business.
Our innovative The Music Week website not only serves as an online ticket distribution for venues and events, removing the management from the process to help live events become more successful, but also contains audio from past events / seminars, providing an on demand learning reference for people aspiring to work in the music biz.
