Professional creatives tell you how to use your noodle to stop eating pot noodle!
For our first Creative Networks event of the year, we are teaming up with Glug Leeds for their student and graduate special. Our wonderful and inspiring speakers will be here to share their unique insights, experiences and top tips; what worked and what didn't on their journey from education to employment.
Open to all, this event is for anyone who is still exploring pathways into the creative industry, and those wanting to turn their passion into a pay check!
