Creative Business

Creative Business at York St John University, in partnership with CidaCo, is providing an extraordinary opportunity for creative YSJ students and graduates. We are offering a free skills development programme for artists and creative entrepreneurs, including one-to-one mentoring for participants.

Six modules take place over six months and cover the key issues facing a creative business. Each of the six workshops is followed by a one-to-one mentoring session of approximately an hour and a half each, pairing every participant with a specially trained Cida Co mentor. Each mentor brings relevant, sector-specific knowledge, skills and networks to each participant.
