Working through five dynamic strands – Apprenticeships, Paid Placements, Mentoring, new Level 3 qualifications, and Volunteering – the Hub will make connections and create opportunities across the Into the Light Programme as well as with creative and cultural organisations throughout the County.

Working closely with Culture Durham, the Skills Hub will create pathways for communities with historically low levels of representation in the sector, building a more inclusive, diverse and skilled workforce for the future.

Are you working in, or aspiring to work in the creative sector?

We aim to drive long-lasting growth in County Durham through a transformative programme of creative collaboration, experimentation, and community empowerment.

Now in its second year, we are building on our programme to cultivate talent and break down barriers to working in the creative industries. We would love your contributions to help shape that future.
