A network for people studying towards or working in the creative industries has been set up by Ayrshire College, with support from the Ayrshire College Foundation.
Hello Creatives was launched on World Hello Day – Thursday 21 November – at the college’s Ayr Campus, where the majority of Ayrshire College’s creative courses are delivered. Ayrshire College students past and present will be able to benefit from becoming a member of the Hello Creatives network. Hello Creatives will introduce students to the creative industry, local employers and mentors, through a regular series of informal events designed to engage, motivate and inspire. The events also aim to highlight the scale of the creative industries, and the wealth of opportunities available across a range of disciplines. This will encourage students to seek the right creative path for them, while giving them the confidence to pursue it, knowing it can be a viable career goal. The launch event involved guest speakers from the performing arts, graphic art, media, and photography industries. These were:
Julie Thorne, Head of Learning & Skills for Arts & Fashion at Ayrshire College, said “Last month the Scottish Government published their policy statement for the Creative Industries where they stated that their vision was one where the sector is considered to provide a rewarding career. “We want our students to be able to access a rewarding career, we want them to know what opportunities are available to them and we want them to know what it takes to be successful. “This means connecting with employers and practitioners in the sector, which is what we are hoping to achieve with our Hello Creatives Network.”
