Community Routes is an ambitious development programme aiming to develop the careers of 50 creative professionals in the West Midlands with a week-long residency, industry-standard masterclasses, mentoring & networking opportunities
We are on the hunt for fresh new talent. Following the success of the Community Routes pilot year in 2024, this year's programme kicks off in August and focuses on five creative careers: Graphic Design, Music Technology, Event Production, Film and Vocal Performance.
Unlock your creative future now. With just 10 places available per creative camp, this programme will be focusing on helping you to build your career in the industry, refine your craft and learn from industry experts.
- Music Technology: Whether you're into production, engineering, or live performance, this camp will sharpen your skills in recording, mixing, and mastering.
