Current projects

We’re proud to be partnering with the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) to support their apprenticeship programme, which plays a key role in opening up pathways into the creative industries.

As part of this collaboration, WORK UP works closely with both RSC staff and apprentices to provide ongoing, tailored support throughout their time at the organisation. This includes group workshops, one-to-one coaching, and career development sessions designed to help apprentices build confidence, navigate the industry, and plan for sustainable futures in their chosen fields.

Our involvement ensures that the voices and experiences of working-class apprentices are not only heard but championed, helping to make the RSC, and the wider arts sector, more inclusive, representative, and supportive for talent from all backgrounds.

This partnership reflects our shared commitment to creating real, long-term change in how the industry supports and nurtures emerging working-class creatives.
