Where Creative Futures Take Shape
EDUCATION HUB
Connecting Education,
Industry and Opportunity
The Creative Edit has been designed to bridge the gap between education and industry, providing students with meaningful opportunities to explore creative careers, engage with professionals and gain first-hand insight into the industries they aspire to join.
Hosted at AVIVA Studios Manchester, home of Factory International, this immersive one-day experience brings together employers, brands, universities, colleges, training providers, entrepreneurs and industry professionals to inspire, educate and develop the next generation of creative talent.
Students gain direct access to creative professionals, employers, brands and organisations, helping them understand the realities of working within the creative industries and the diverse career pathways available.
The Creative Edit provides a real world learning environment where students can connect theory with practice, helping them understand how classroom learning translates into professional opportunities.
The Creative Edit has been designed to complement and enrich a wide range of curriculum areas, providing practical industry context to classroom learning.
