The next Creative, Cultural and Digital Employer Forum event will consider practicalities as well as how and why employers might consider hosting apprenticeships and work-based learning. This free event is being delivered by Hampshire Chamber of Commerce, Southampton Cultural Development Trust, Creative Network South and Artswork. It is funded by Arts Council England.

The event will be hosted by Southampton City College and will also celebrate the launch of the Mayflower 400 and its Skills and Education plans.

In a time of great uncertainty around apprenticeship provision, this event will offer the opportunity to hear the latest updates about apprenticeships and higher level apprenticeships, and find out about alternative work-based learning programmes and career progression routes into the creative, cultural and digital sectors.
