Futures 3 – Career Passport and Personal Branding

This interactive session is designed to help Design & Architecture students explore how their creativity connects to real career opportunities.

You will discover the different pathways available across the creative industries, including employment, freelance work, further study and entrepreneurship. We will look at how to build a strong creative portfolio, gain industry experience, and develop the professional skills employers look for. You will also learn how to use LinkedIn, networking and your online presence to make your skills and values visible to employers.

Through practical activities and examples, you will reflect on your own strengths, transferable skills and career direction, and leave with clear, realistic next steps to help you move confidently toward your future in the creative sector.

Please note that this is a timetabled session for LSDA 3rd Year students so no sign up is required.
