Income Strategies for Creative Professionals - Skills Bootcamp
Funded programme to help small business leaders and mid-career freelancers develop new and sustainable income streams.
Sustaining a freelance career or running a small creative organisation right now requires people to know where to look for money and how to access it. All of this requires new ways of working, from developing existing client & audience relations to being savvy with social media, to exploring new income opportunities. We know that confidence in being here in 12 months is low with many experienced professionals, and a new way of approaching earned and funded income is needed. That’s where our subsidised programme comes in.
Over 9 weeks, one day a week, you will be supported by experts who know your challenges and pains and how to overcome them. You will be supported by your programme tutor through a coaching informed approach that will help you:
- Develop a growth plan that fits your values and ways of working
- Explore new revenue streams that are within reach
- Deepen your relationship with existing clients and audiences
- Reduce reliance on Project Grants and other subsidy
- Make bold & positive decisions with confidence
We have designed this with you in mind. It is practical, collaborative, and tailored to real-world challenges.
90% (for employed) or 100% (for freelance) of the cost is subsidised through the national Skills Bootcamp programme, meaning it is a affordable and accessible for individuals and companies who would otherwise struggle to invest in their futures right now.
