About The Employer

Our mission is to identify and nurture creatively gifted young people whose talents may have been overlooked in the exam-focused school system and increase diversity in the creative industries. We have work in London and the Northwest with over 2,000 students in schools and with students excluded from school. The Foundation uses its direct links with creative agencies and professionals in the creative industries. Our i-experience programme provides a one day intro to the creative industries. The Ladder offer a chance for work placement in a top creative agency and support to entre the industry. We have an online programme, I Am Creative, where young people can down load a creative brief from Nokia, Metro, Aviva and other top brands and publish their response in a gallery and commended work wins prizes and access to The Ladder. Work has been commissioned and students have been invited to develop their ideas with the brands or the creative agencies involved.
