A consortium of arts organisations have joined forces to offer 40 paid work placements in Manchester.

Manchester International Festival is leading the programme as part of the Government's Kickstart scheme for young people facing lower employment prospects. 

It plans to create opportunities for local people at The Factory, the city’s new arts centre. 

The Royal Exchange, Contact, The Lowry and HOME were also involved in securing funding via Creative & Cultural Skills for the placements. 

The roles will cover all aspects of the industry, including sponsorship, communications, producing, marketing, touring, engagement, training, operations and maintenance.
