Emerging Tech Skills for the Creative Industries

The Creative Engine is IN4 Group’s flagship training division for unlocking creative talent and driving economic growth through emerging technologies.

As the creative industries continue to evolve, with an expected GVA of £300bn by 2030, The Creative Engine ensures that talent development keeps pace with industry demand. This place-based model brings together government, industry, education, and community partners to create a sustainable pipeline of skilled, diverse, and future-ready creative professionals.

The delivery is flexible and hybrid, enabling participants to develop skills while balancing existing commitments, reducing barriers to entry and supporting inclusive growth.

 

Once training is finished, The Creative Engine offers multiple pathways to enabling work opportunities. For example, participants gain access to The Creative Engine Freelancing platform, powered by CG Hero, where they can bid on paid freelance projects for national and international clients, such as SEGA, Epic Games, and Netflix. Participants continue to receive mentoring and introductions after the programme, enabling them to grow their careers in the creative industries.
