Creative

There's a career for you in Scotland's thriving creative industry - whatever your interests are. It's one of Scotland's most diverse and growing sectors covering jobs such as online video content, advertising, architecture, fashion and textiles and more.

The impact you could make:
- Play a key part in getting creative organisations back on their feet following the impact of COVID-19.
- If you're independent, enjoy flexible working or want to work self-employed, apply your skills to a creative role.
- Take Scottish creative culture global - get to travel and work all around the world.

The opportunities within creative:
Many people who work in the creative industry are either self-employed and manage their own hours or work on a contractual basis. This means a creative career would be a great choice if you're an entrepreneur, value flexibility, love networking and enjoy promoting yourself and your abilities.
