In August, NCAT were proud to host in collaboration with the Inner Northern Local Learning and Employment Network (INLLEN), the second Creative Industries – Industry Engagement Event.
The event began in 2023 and offered NCAT students an opportunity to engage with industry practitioners and explore career pathways in Music, Photography, Visual Arts & Design, Screen & Media and Live Production. The day featured an insightful and informative industry panel discussion as well as department-specific breakout sessions where students could ask questions based on their area of interest.
In 2024, we had a fantastic turnout and were thrilled to see so many enthusiastic students, industry professionals, and creative minds come together to explore career pathways across the Visual and Performing Arts Industries in Melbourne and across Australia.
A big thank you to our 17 amazing speakers who shared their insights and experiences. Your contributions made the event truly inspiring!
Check out some of the fantastic moments captured throughout the day. From student performances to engaging panel discussions and industry-focused breakout sessions, every moment was filled with learning and inspiration.
A massive thank you to the 20 outstanding Northern College of the Arts & Technology students who were integral to the event management and planning team. We couldn’t have done it without you!
