Networking for Creative Careers: Why it matters and how to get started. With Creative Dundee.

Not sure where to start with networking or how important it is? Hear from Creative Producer, Claire Dufour of Creative Dundee about how networking can help you meet people, gain insights, and open doors in the creative industries,right from the very beginning of your career.

Creative careers are built on more than talent alone. Networking can help you discover opportunities, learn from others, and build valuable connections throughout your career. Sometimes it can be tricky to know how to get started or feel confident enough to take your first steps into networking. 

Join us for a session exploring the role networking plays in the creative industries with some tips on how to do it. This will be followed by a Q&A with a creative professional working in Dundee, Claire Dufour. This is a relaxed and informal session designed for students at any stage on any course, whether you're just starting to think about your future or already planning your next steps. You're welcome to ask questions and join the discussion, or simply listen and learn from others. This event is part of our Creative Careers series.
