Call to firms to help nurture new arts talent

Apr 6 2009 by Gary Young, Birmingham Mail

CITY arts organisations are wanted to invest in a pilot training scheme designed to nurture talent.

Creative Apprenticeships aims to give artistic people the skills they need to fulfil their potential by matching them with employers who will train them up.

As well as receiving a basic wage, apprentices will be schooled in project management, fund-raising, outreach and youth work.
