What's happened to Create Jobs?
Since 2011, A New Direction has delivered its Employment and Skills programme under the name 'Create Jobs', this is probably how you know us. However, from January 2022 we will no longer be using the Create Jobs name or logo in this way.
Instead, we will simply use 'A New Direction' when we talk about our organisation and team, and our 'Employment & Skills programme' when we talk about the work.

What next for the Create Jobs brand?
The Create Jobs brand itself will continue in a new way online, becoming our exciting new online platform for networking members of our alumni with opportunities, employers and their peers.

Create Jobs
Create Jobs is our online platform for networking members of our alumni with opportunities, employers and their peers.
Job roles, opportunities, inspiring seminars and networking events are profiled on the platform and shared across our social media channels. Through the platform, alumni and employers can access our team for advice and guidance – from CV writing to recruitment practice.
We also run an open Jobs board for our audience of young creatives, sharing opportunities from employers in our network, and share these via our Create Jobs social media channels - Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin.
