Local businesses and organisations have already lined up more than ten employment, training and internships for graduates, which will commence both ahead of and during the festival. They include opportunities with one of the country’s leading television production companies Twofour; award winning video and streaming experts Silverstream TV; digital media consultancy firm Eddystone Media; audio visual production company JHAV; and visual design company Nick Jevons Designs. They also span into more design-focused roles within construction and the built environment, thanks to partners from Building Plymouth, the Plymouth City Council-led partnership which connects local people with opportunities in this thriving sector.

Dozens more regional and national businesses including A Pickled Thought, Cox London, Avant Arte, Live Recruitment, theatre practitioner Kevin Johnson, and key industry figures – including BAFTA-winning immersive media specialist Catherine Allen and leading production designer and long-term Ridley Scott collaborator Sonja Klaus – are also arranging inspiring talks, workshops, and paid work opportunities to launch to students across the IGNITE Festival of Creativity.

Sue Kenderdine, Head of Talent at Twofour,  said:

"Twofour is delighted to be part of the IGNITE Festival of Creativity 2022. Twofour is a proud regional company and is passionate about welcoming, and keeping, up-and-coming talent in the South West. Our offices in Devon and London are bursting with talent, and support initiatives that help future generations find pathways into creative businesses."
