Why should you choose an entry level job in Creative & Design?

Starting an entry level job in Creative & Design has lots of benefits, including:

Gaining Work Experience: Entry level jobs allow you to gain hands-on work experience and receive on-the-job training from people who do that job every day. This is ideal for those who learn best through practical work, rather than theoretical, classroom-based learning.

Networking: You will be able to meet and work with all kinds of people in an entry level job and build connections with people that provide future career opportunities.

Career Exploration: You’ll have the ability to explore different industries and roles within ur entry level job and can then identify ur skills and weaknesses.

What’s the difference between an entry level job in Creative & Design and an apprenticeship:

A key difference between an entry level job and an apprenticeship is that with an apprenticeship you’re working towards a formal qualification. This requires theoretical learning alongside working, so they’re great for people who value qualifications and want to continue studying and learning, as well as start working. No academic learning is required in an entry level job, so they’re a good fit for people who prefer learning in a practical, hands-on way. This also makes them beneficial for those who find it difficult to juggle working and studying.

Apprenticeships also focus on developing industry specific skills whereas entry level jobs focus more on practical skills related directly to the job as they’re more focused on daily tasks.
