    Brief

    The North East Mayoral Combined Authority is seeking delivery organisations for the Creative Careers Carousel pilot programme, part of the Experiences of the Workplace initiative. This programme provides inclusive, skills-based workplace experiences in the creative industries for young people, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and those in Alternative Provision (AP) settings. The delivery organisations will be Local Cultural Education Partnerships (LCEPs) working in partnership with schools, colleges, creative sector employers, and cultural organisations. The programme aims to increase meaningful employer engagement, broaden workplace experience approaches, and develop young people's career awareness and aspirations in the creative sector. The project will engage 24 schools, reach 240 pupils, and involve 15 employers delivering practical workplace experiences. Three organisations will deliver this programme across selected local authority areas in the North East region. Delivery organisations should have established place-based cultural education partnerships and demonstrate experience in coordinating between educational institutions and employers.
