Placement Schemes
Creative Fuse North East offers funding and recruitment assistance with several student and graduate placement schemes for your organisation.
Creative Fuse Placements Programme
Short-term placements with graduate and postgraduate students to help your organisation develop its innovation capacity and expertise. Projects will be of strategic value to your business e.g. developing new products, accessing new markets, or developing new working practices. Placements will last around 4 weeks, although longer durations may be supported. This programme is led by the University of Sunderland Team.
Hothouse Innovation Programme
Placing emerging undergraduate talent within ‘real-world’ scenarios. A student team will work to your project brief, supported and overseen by University of Sunderland academics. Placements typically last around 5-10 days, for fast-response ‘task and finish’ projects.
Creative Connections Placement Scheme
Aimed at sole traders, micro-businesses, and SMEs in the creative or cultural sectors. 6 days intensive support from an experienced postgraduate student. The student will respond to your organisation’s project brief, produced in consultation with the Creative Connections team at Newcastle University Business School.
