How to get ahead in the humanities

The value of an arts degree to job seekers will be discussed at a forum at Triskel Arts Centre this weekend, writes Colette Sheridan

THE value of an arts degree will be examined at the launch of Art/Works, a Creative Arts and Industries Platform (CAIP), organised by UCC in collaboration with Corcadorca Theatre Company and Plugd Records at the Triskel Arts Centre on Friday.

The free event will bring together a panel of guest speakers representing a range of professions that require arts degree skills. It’s aimed at past, present and future arts students, employers, industry practitioners and academics. The platform will focus on theatre, drama and music; visual arts, museums and curatorship; film, screen and radio and fiction and non-fiction publishing.
