About #CreativeGPS:

#CreativeGPS is a training program aimed at supporting cultural and creative sector professionals in navigating their careers with greater awareness and a stronger strategic approach. The program includes self-reflection, strategic communication, networking, and entrepreneurship, providing participants with essential skills to thrive in the creative industries. It will run in parallel across Latvia, Estonia, and Finland, offering both online and on-site sessions, including a collaborative Bootcamp in Tallinn.

Who is eligible to apply?  

The program is designed for professionals in the arts, culture, and creative sectors. There will be 66 open participant positions altogether, which entails 22 spots per country. The CreativeGPS program is set to help those identifying with one or more of the various criteria that place them in less competitive job market positions.  

 This includes:  

- Being involved in freelancing, self-employment, micro-entrepreneurship, part-time employment, or those sustaining multiple/unstable sources of income;  
-Those with low-income rates, under the threat of unemployment, or receiving state benefits;  
-Those in the early stages of their careers (e.g. recent graduates entering the job market) or in transitional career stages (e.g. returning from parental leave).  
- Additionally, those facing difficulties in finding jobs that align with their skills (e.g. your current work tasks do not match your level of expertise, or you are a creative practitioner currently employed outside of the CCS) are also invited to apply.
