\n\tFORWARD MARCH: After a successful run in New York City earlier this month, the Sarabande<\/a> careers fair \u201cWhat Now?\u201d<\/a> will take place at the foundation\u2019s home in Haggerston, east London<\/a>, on June 16.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe fair helps arts and fashion graduates navigate their way to jobs, internships and career paths in the creative industries and the aim is twofold, according to Sarabande. The fair wants to provide emotional support and solidarity to young creatives, \u201creassuring them that they are not alone in feeling directionless, post-graduation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSarabande also wants students to get industry advice from members of the media, marketing companies and brands large and small. The fair is extremely popular, with students lining up around the block, waiting to get into the fair.<\/p>\n

\n\tLast year\u2019s fair saw brands including Burberry, Saint Laurent and Victoria Beckham take part. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe sixth iteration of the London fair comes at a critical time in the U.K., which is facing a major youth unemployment crisis, with more than one million people aged between 16 and 24 years old not in education, employment or training.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith AI fast replacing jobs in the media and design industries, even those with an education are finding it difficult to find entry-level work as they struggle to pay off student loans.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this month, Sarabande reprised its \u201cWhat Now?\u201d event in New York City at The Standard, High Line in the Meatpacking District. Some 11 brands took part, including WWD parent Fairchild Media Group, with more than 600 tickets sold.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCreative careers rarely follow a straight line, and breaking into the fashion industry in particular isn\u2019t always straightforward. There\u2019s a common misconception that the only path after studying fashion or the arts is to become a designer or launch your own label, when in reality the creative industries offer a vast range of roles and opportunities,\u201d said Trino Verkade<\/a>, director of Sarabande, the arts charity established by Lee Alexander McQueen in 2006.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c\u2018What Now?\u2019 was created to help young people see the breadth of those possibilities and connect them directly with the professionals who can help guide those first steps,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe one-day fair is free of charge, and will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Sarabande Foundation<\/a>, 22 Hertford Road, London N1 5SH.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FORWARD MARCH: After a successful run in New York City earlier this month, the Sarabande careers fair \u201cWhat…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":465416,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[146,85,46,442,207018,216398],"class_list":["post-465415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-london","tag-sarabande-foundation","tag-trino-verkade"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=465415"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465415\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/465416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=465415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=465415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=465415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
