Taster Session: Meet Alison Grade & find out more about the full course.

Freelancing is much more than being good at working ‘in’ the work you want do – you need to also work ‘on’ your freelancing. In this workshop you’ll learn from author of The Freelance Bible, Alison Grade, how to work ‘on’ your freelancing. and prepare yourself so you are best positioned to find the work you want to do.

This workshop is essential for anyone looking to work in the creative and cultural industries. A recent Creative Industries Federation report on freelancing showed that 47% of work in the creative industries is freelance. It’s highly likely that graduates will need to be ready to work as freelancers if not by design, then by necessity – whether it be traditional self-employment or short-fixed contract work, either way these graduates will need to think like freelancers.

This taster workshop will give you a chance to find out more about the full course and meet Alison Grade.

Zoom details for the event will be sent to attendees beforehand.
