The PLACED Academy is our original programme and is open to young people in years 9 – 12 at the time of application, from across the Northwest. Delivered over a 10-month period, sessions include monthly skills workshops, Saturday design challenges, and a summer school, offering a rounded insight into the sector whilst participants are still in school or college.
Sessions focus on developing skills, aspirations and confidence whilst supporting access to professional careers. During the programme, there will be a wide range of activities and events with creativity and collaboration at the heart. Below is an overview of the Academy programme.
To graduate, participants need to complete ten days of activity.
