Lambeth Council’s partnership with other south London boroughs on a talent development programme has a new programme of free activities to help young people develop careers in creative and tech industries such as architecture, design, film-making, advertising and web development.

Under the initiative, called ‘Stride’, Lambeth is working with Lewisham, Southwark and Wandsworth Councils to encourage and develop opportunities in areas of work that are both well paid and expected to expand over the coming years. It includes a focus on championing creative and tech talent from underrepresented backgrounds.

The new Stride: Barrier Breakers is a series of knowledge exchange events hosted by Stride that will help attendees establish connections, share key learnings and promote development opportunities to nurture creativity and innovation – for creatives, startups and growing enterprises. The first Talent Scout virtual event is on Wednesday 19 May and you can read more and on how to join this event here on the love lambeth website.
