Creative Workforce Development

Building pathways into regional creative careers

Regional Arts WA is strengthening the sustainability of regional arts organisations and the broader ecosystem by providing opportunities for emerging arts workers to gain practical experience, establish professional networks, and pursue creative careers in regional communities.

Through targeted creative workforce development activities, Regional Arts WA is aiming to:

  • Create pathways from study to employment in the regional arts and cultural sector. 
  • Support students and graduates through work placements, mentoring and professional development opportunities. 
  • Strengthen the capacity of regional arts organisations and communities. 
  • Promote the benefits of regional creative careers and lifestyles. 
  • Grow a skilled, sustainable workforce that supports thriving regional communities. 
  • Bring together partners across education, industry and government to address workforce challenges through collaboration and co-investment.
