The activities that are planned, organised and co-ordinated by the CLPO, typically include teaching arts, culture and heritage subjects, creative workshops, visits, talks, performances, festivals, events and digital arts, using online content and social networks as appropriate. Activities may be accessed in cultural venues such as galleries, museums and theatres, online and other settings for example schools, hospitals, prisons and community settings such as care homes.
These activities act as a vehicle to enable learning, skills development, wellbeing, social inclusion and community engagement. They use arts and culture to enhance and improve learning about wider subjects e.g. teamwork, communication, resilience and may use activities that include dance, music, drama or provide curriculum resources in the arts.
CPLO’s are often highly skilled in their own creative practice: art, dance, design, drama, music, writing etc. This apprenticeship enables them to learn how to share that creative practice with others. They will learn how to work to a brief, a tight budget, a strict deadline and manage the expectations and experiences of participants, partners and funders.
If you’re ready to go further, be an apprentice and be the future with Creative Alliance.
CPLOs are employed by arts and cultural organisations such as galleries, museums, theatres, orchestras, concert halls, arts centres, dance companies, heritage sites and local authorities. They are employed as full time members of the team and also as freelancers.
They may be the only CLPO or work with other CLPOs in a team that may consist of artistic producers, cultural learning and participation managers, administrators and artists. They also work with artists, partners and other external practitioners such as designers, historians, conservators, scientists, mental health practitioners and teachers to ensure that the projects meet objectives and are successful.

James keeps me up to date with news and other sources related to digital marketing, which is engaging and also continues to help me develop my knowledge. He always makes sure to check up regularly on how I am doing and feeling in my apprenticeship and I am happy.
I wanted to do an apprenticeship instead of University because of the workplace experience I could gain
I knew university wasn’t going to be for me, so I decided to do an apprenticeship instead. Creative Alliance have really helped me with my confidence and employability skills.
Just following up on last night’s event. Can I firmly just say a massive thank you to you and Noel for allowing me to attend such an eye opening and career driving event. I really enjoyed networking with so many amazing creatives.
I felt Beatfreaks really treated me like a normal employee, rather than just a young apprentice
Absolutely brilliant learning provider, coming towards the end of my time as an apprentice, I’ve had full support and backing the entire way. Excellent.
My development coach has been great, as I have struggled in some instances, and he has continually helped me stay on track with my projects. I am happy as I have started to feel like I am getting somewhere with my work, and I have enjoyed my time as an apprentice.
