The app is primarily for young people who are 16+ with an interest in careers in the creative industries.

Our typical user is looking for work experiences or internships, creative competitions, careers events or workshops & other early-careers opportunities to build their skills and confidence. They are looking to get work-ready and enhance their CV or portfolio, but aren’t necessarily ready to apply for a job just yet.

The app is also used by careers teams, teachers & parents who want to find careers opportunities for their students or children.

Our users see the app as a time-saving tool that removes the burden of having to search the internet for careers opportunities themselves. The ERIC app finds all the opportunities scattered across the web and brings everything into one easy-to-access place so everyone can effortlessly and quickly access the opportunities that are right for them.

On average, we publish between 20-30 new opportunities on the app every day.

We have a dedicated team who scan the web every day for fresh opportunities. We also work directly with hundreds with organisations in the creative industries who have chosen ERIC as the platform they want to promote their exclusive opportunities on.

We check everything to make sure it’s relevant, appropriate and everything is approved before being shown on the ERIC app.

You can learn more about ‘what are the creative industries’ here. The creative industries we focus on the app are:

ERIC is not a recruiter and we cannot guarantee you a job. We instead aim to connect you with a variety of opportunities that will help you gain experience, skills and support that you need to feel confident enough to get a job.

We are proud to say that thousands of young people in our community have gone on and landed a career in the creative industries but our aim is to help you feel more prepared, skilled and work-ready.

The creative industries are for everyone and the opportunities we put on the app reflects that ethos. We publish hundreds of opportunities every month that are designed to support people of all backgrounds into a career in the creative industries.

Accessibility to creative opportunities regardless of educational qualifications is high on our agenda. Why? Because on of our Co-Founders, Sam, wasn’t very good at school and also didn't go to university. She is super passionate about supporting those who, like her, do not fit the school mould or didn’t go on to higher education.

Yes, the app is free for young people and always will be. You can download it on iOS or Android.

We don’t have a desktop version yet but watch this space.
