THE INSIGHT STAGE

The one-day INSIGHT workshops are the beginning of the TICE journey for all students and their schools on the TICE Programme. Workshops take place in schools in January and introduce students to the mentor from their chosen creative, design and digital industry.

OUR MENTORS
Each TICE Mentor holds DBS clearance and is a creative professional working in industry. Mentors design each Insight workshop to be engaging, informative and interactive – and update them each year to represent developing industry trends.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS
Insight days explore the students’ chosen creative area from an industry perspective, giving students a broad insight, which includes the scope of the creative sector, potential career progression, and fundamental creative business knowledge.
