"Creative Career Insights" - Empowering Your Path to a Dream Job

We are delighted to announce that bookings are now open for our 2025/26 Academic Year Creative Career Sessions , here at Rockvilla 10-1pm on the following dates:

Tue 7, Wed 8 & Thurs 9 October 2025

Tue 4, Wed 5 & Thurs 6 November 2025

Creative Career Insight sessions at Rockvilla provide an exciting chance for schools to:

• Tour our vibrant building
• Hear from a selection of National Theatre of Scotland staff
• Engage in practical workshops
• Access to FREE transport to Rockvilla (State Schools only)

Sessions cater for both S1-S2 and S3-S6 students, with sessions designed to best suit students attending in these two designated groups, rather than a mix of pupils from across the whole school years introducing them to the myriad of possibilities in the Creative Industries.

Sessions DO NOT focus on performance/acting roles, but more on the many behind the scenes roles such as producing, audience & media, finance, technical roles and so are accessible for those pupils who do not study drama or have no theatre experience, as well as those who do.

Our passion lies in cultivating awareness among the next generation of creatives about the countless opportunities within the creative industries.

Shedding light on the actual responsibilities of current roles, demystifying job titles, and providing a glimpse into day-to-day activities. The practical workshop part of the session will concentrate on a wide array of skills necessary for various roles at NTS. From creating marketing plans to developing community engagement programs, we strive to broaden your knowledge of the creative industries beyond just being on stage.

Creative Career Insights will resonate with teachers and pupils alike, but don’t just take our word for it:

“I loved hearing about all the financial side of things and how it works, never even thought of that before”
Pupil Garnock Academy

“it was great seeing how pupils didn’t just stick with their friends in the workshop, they really did work together in the various roles” Teacher Garnock Academy

“Great careers advice and introduction to departments and roles many pupils may not have known about before hand, as well as chance to discuss the skills needed”
Teacher Cumbernauld Academy

“I feel I actual have some skills that I could use in departments and roles that I wasn’t even familiar with”
Pupil Bearsden Academy
