There are a wide range of projects and activities which are currently ongoing in the city aiming to support young people's access to relevant skills training and education opportunities for engagement with, and employment in, Bristol's Arts, Heritage and Cultural organisations.
For example, BCEP have been part of a city-wide bid to the Creative Employment programme which has achieved funding for 72 entry-level employment jobs for unemployed 18-24 year olds in Bristol. These are being advertised through Job Centre Plus from September 2013, and will run between then and March 2015. Each of these jobs will be hosted by a BCEP member - giving young people in the city the opportunity to work with, and learn from the wealth of knowledge that exists in these sectors in the city. The aim of the jobs is to support young unemployed people to develop sustainable careers in these sectors.
The partnership which put together the 'Bristol Bid' to the Creative Employment Programme was led by the University of the West of England, and supported by Bristol City Council, the Arts Council, BCEP members, the Department for Work and Pensions and the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership,
This bid has brought more than £350, 000 additional funding into the city to support young people developing the skills and experience that they will need to work in these sectors.
More information will be posted here soon with updates about other work that is taking place - please check back here!
