What is Breakthrough?
The Breakthrough programme is a paid 6-month (26 weeks) training and work-based learning programme run by our team at Artswork. Breakthrough will run from 23 September 2024 to 28 March 2025. The young person’s wage, employer NI contributions, and auto-enrollment pension contributions are covered by Artswork's funding from Arts Council England, along with additional training to support their confidence and professionalism in the workplace. The main goal of Breakthrough is to provide entry routes into the creative industry for 16-25 year olds who are struggling to find meaningful employment.
