Business Skills for Creatives
Mastered is running a series of bootcamps around the country for Creative freelancers and organisations to develop their business skills. The bootcamp is completely free of charge as it is fully funded by the government, and consists of an 8 week intensive programme of seminars, mentoring and coaching, followed by a further 6 months of mentoring and masterclasses to keep you on track.
I am the Regional Lead for the West Midlands cohorts, and have seen first hand how this programme has supported creative practitioners in the Midlands to fulfil their business dreams. I know the other cohorts around the country have some equally fantastic stories to tell, and I would encourage anyone who needs support with the business side of their, well, business, to get involved! We've had musicians, artists, writers, designers, and a whole host of other freelancers complete the programme so far, so you'll be in good creative company.
To qualify for a completely free bootcamp place, you must:
- Be born before 31st August 2004
- Have the right to work in the UK
- Live in England
- Be a self-employed professional or small business
- Demonstrate a passion to grow in the creative industry
