Why become an Enterprise Adviser?
Volunteering as an Enterprise Adviser can be incredibly rewarding. You’ll be supported by a trained, full-time Enterprise Coordinator and a range of practical resources to help you in your role. You can also benefit from peer support from other volunteers and broaden your network of contacts further.
“Being an EA is a really rewarding experience, there’s nothing like feeling like you’ve made a, small but, very real difference to students by opening their eyes to the huge variety of opportunity that exists across the creative sector.” Amy Smith, Framestore, an EA Since 2016.
At this event you will hear directly from creative sector Enterprise Advisors, learn about the national Creative Careers Programme, discover supported ways to volunteer that can develop your own leadership skills, and have an opportunity to sign up as an EA or Creative Careers volunteer.
