Creative Career Studio – Explore Creative Industries
The Creative Career Studio is a professional, career-focused program designed for teens who are curious about creative industries and want to understand how creativity translates into real jobs. This camp goes beyond making art for fun — it helps students explore creative career pathways, develop ideas with intention, and communicate their work confidently and professionally.
What Makes This Job Readiness Program Different:
Our programs are designed to be energetic, fun and impactful. Our team of expert facilitators has built our programs for students that:
- Direct creative talents towards employment and business outcomes
- Covers creative roles within companies, startups, agencies, and freelance work
- Helps students to understand how creativity intersects with business, technology, and communication
- Offers education, training, portfolio, and experience pathways for creative careers
“Creative talent is only part of the equation. What actually opens doors is the ability to explain ideas, collaborate with others, and connect creativity to real-world needs. This camp gives students those professional skills early so they can continue to focus on developing their creativity, while fostering real world connections.”
