Cultural Producers Programme
Transform your passion into profession with Creative Newham's paid training programme
Our Cultural Producers programme offers six months (part-time) in-depth training and development to help you enter the arts, heritage, health or environment sectors as a producer ready to put on a range of creative events or programming in the local community.
The Cultural Producers Programme is open to 18-30 year old Newham residents who have some experience working, volunteering or studying in the creative sector and the passion, drive and commitment to pursue a career in this dynamic, multi-faceted field.

The programme is being delivered by UEL on behalf of and in partnership with Creative Newham, an alliance of around 120 arts, cultural, education, and community organisations dedicated to expanding creative opportunities across the borough. As part of its Steering Group and as the lead for this project, UEL is proud to support its mission.
The Cultural Producers programme stands as a testament to UEL and Creative Newham’s shared commitment to inclusivity, encouraging individuals from underrepresented communities to pursue and succeed in cultural leadership. Through this programme, UEL is committed to diversifying the talent pipeline, increasing access to cultural careers, fostering social mobility, and bringing new voices into the sector.
UEL, an anchor institution for over 125 years, is honoured to lead Newham’s Place Partnership programme on behalf of the communities we serve.
