ALT Quote from Leon a current Content Creative Trainee "My time at Content Creatives taught me how to thrive in a team, how to confidently convey my ideas to others and how to positively use feedback from professionals in the industry to refine my creative vision. Most importantly, it taught me to believe in myself."

Really pleased @CCConventionUK is having this conversation and even more pleased that my marvellous @SharpFutures colleague @CharlieSawers is speaking.
Personally, I don't think there is a skills shortage, there is an opportunity shortage. Plenty of amazing talent around!
The screen industry is groaning under the strain of a chronic skills shortage – and yet thousands still struggle to build their careers. In this personal session, early career hopefuls who chose different paths share their hopes, fears and future plans.
