Opportunities for young people
London is the best place to be when it comes to music & culture, but sometimes it can be hard to know where to look for opportunities.
That’s why we’ve compiled a list of music-based schemes and opportunities, as well as entry level and more senior jobs in the creative industries, for young people from across the capital. The list is not exhaustive but is a good place to start. Have a look and go and get involved!
