A pre-employability training programme that gives the tools you need to get into the creative, cultural, digital, and technology sectors

Are you ready to launch your career in the creative, cultural, digital, and technology sectors? Join us for C&COP (Creative & Cultural Opportunities Programme), a transformative pre-employability initiative designed to equip young East Londoners with the tools and insights needed to secure paid roles in these dynamic industries.
