Practical advice on building a creative career from your first role onwards — taken from interviews with our recent apprentice graduates.
What separates the apprentices who graduate into permanent roles from those who don't? In our 10 years of running apprenticeship programmes, a few patterns are consistent.
First, the ones who win treat their off-the-job training day as their main opportunity to ask questions rather than their day off. Second, they keep an active personal portfolio outside of paid work. Third, they say yes to projects slightly beyond their level — and then ask for help when they hit a wall.
