Since 2011, we have been training apprentices here at the NT, with 90% going on to be employed within the sector.

Our brilliant Head of Technical Qualifications, Kath Geraghty, has penned a piece in Arts Professional discussing the transformative impact that T-Levels can have across the wider creative industries. We hope this will inspire more organisations within the arts to explore similar programmes to address skills shortages across the sector.  #discovercreativecareers #creativecareers 👉 https://lnkd.in/eXPSvgKW
