FutureMe

Following the Future Me session with Employability and Progression Adviser Sophie Reading, I was able to become aware of, and begin using, services which provide students with help and opportunities after graduation. Aspects of the Future Me session also included recognising our strengths and weaknesses in addition to considering further education after graduation and other avenues such as employment and volunteering.

DBACE, the Deutsche Bank Awards for Creative Entrepreneurs, was suggested as a means of securing funding for creative entrepreneurs in addition to MeWe360 and the Sky Arts and IdeasTap Futures Fund. The Sky Arts fund provides the opportunity of receiving one of five bursaries of £30,000 to emerging artists wanting to develop and focus upon their creative practice. However the deadlines for some of the suggested applications have expired, such as for DBACE.
