What is ArtsReady?

The ArtsReady program assists employers in the arts and creative industries to engage young Australians in traineeships.

ArtsReady is delivered by AFL SportsReady and is modelled on their program that has successfully provided employment and education opportunities for thousands of young Australians for more than 20 years in the sports sector.

Offering a mix of school-based and full-time12 month traineeships, the program prepares participants to graduate as job ready for the arts and creative industries.

The program builds skills development through accredited training that combines practical experience at work with vocational education. It also supports employers during the recruitment and employment process.

ArtsReady also actively supports opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait trainees.

Our business courses are nationally recognised and have been specifically designed to provide our students and trainees with the skills required to succeed when launching a career in the arts.
