ERIC Creative Careers Predictions for 2023👩💻
Happy *almost* New Year! Only two days to go until we hit 2023 - are you ready?👀
Today, we're covering the last of our ERIC 2023 predictions. The category that we land on today is, creative careers!
So, lets get into it...🚀
1) There will be LOADS (and we mean loads) of jobs in Film & TV - If these are the industries for you, you're in luck, as we're going to see lots of jobs opening up. With new studios being built, initiatives being created and funding becoming available, the Film & TV industries will be a great place to be in 2023.
2) It's going to be the year of freelancing & self employment - Will 2023 be the year that we finally normalise the 4 day work week? This could be a potential with 100 companies having already signed up with no loss in pay. Find more on that here. The general public are becoming more and more accustomed to creating your own flexibility, so self-employment and freelancing could tempt more people in 2023. Overall, the creative industries will be leading the charge in flexible working and a shorter working week.
3) 2023 will be a HUGE year for creativity outside of London - We've already started to see this happen, so we know that 2023 will be a big year for levelling up outside of the capital. Areas like Wales, Bristol and the Midlands will be likely to see a huge boom thanks to new initiatives and funding. If you're interested in seeing where the Arts Council England funding landed, you can check it out here.
4) Craft based careers will be on the rise - Fancy being a craft influencer? 2023 will be the year for it. With side hustles becoming a popular form of income, as well as actually enjoying the creative time, craft based careers will be all the rage.
5) Is the Music Industry FINALLY revising its ethics? - The Music industry are on track to reclaim their standing in terms of individualist culture. We're seeing democratisation of the distribution of finance, and a push for sustainability. There are many question marks over the music industry, which some have said is overdue for it's '#MeToo' moment. 2023 could be the year that we look at a revision of ticketing as a whole, with Ticketmaster completing possibly the biggest ticket blunder ever seen.
6) Learning & Development jobs will be all the rage - We could see a large spike in roles available in learning and development, significantly in the Culture & Heritage and Fine Arts sectors.
7) Creative roles in digital will be buzzing about - If you're a digi whiz, then keep an eye out for an influx of jobs at the intersection of creativity & digital.
So, that's it from us on 2023 predictions!
Wishing you a very happy New Year🎊
