Why we created Routes In

Through our own experience we've discovered that there are so many routes into the Creative Industry. Everyone's story is different and there are conventional and nonconventional ways to enter. We want to open up the creative industry, making it more accessible and diverse by supporting every route to success.

Thats total amount of creative vacancies in the UK are filled by black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) candidates combined.

Only 11.4% of industry jobs are filled by black, asian and minority ethnic people, and just 11.5% of creative directors in the US are women.

of creatives cite “lack of Awareness of creative professions” is a barrier to a creative education/career.
