From Graduate to Business Owner
For many graduates, stepping into the world of work can feel like a daunting leap. It’s a time when you’re searching not just for a job, but for something that aligns with your passion, values, and ambitions. For those who dream of making a difference while building a career, Drama Kids’ new Graduate Scheme is a game-changer.
Designed for individuals under 25, the programme offers a unique opportunity to turn your love for creativity, teaching, and child development into a career that’s as meaningful as it is rewarding.
More Than Just a Job
For graduates, the pressure to find a “good job” is real. But what if work could mean more than just earning a salary? What if it could be a platform for growth, creativity, and community impact?
That’s what drew Amber Jellet to Drama Kids’ Graduate Scheme. At 24, Amber launched her own Drama Kids academy in her community. With a background in musical theatre and a passion for working with children, she saw the scheme as an opportunity to blend her skills with her aspirations.
“Drama Kids’ focus on fostering confidence and individuality in children really resonated with me,” Amber says. “I love that it’s not just about performance but about helping kids discover who they are. It’s such a privilege to be part of that journey.”
The A New Kind of Career Path
What sets the Drama Kids Graduate Scheme apart is its focus on empowerment. It’s not just about giving graduates a role; it’s about giving them ownership, leadership skills, and the chance to make an impact.
Participants receive professional training, business support, and the chance to earn a Level 4 Teaching Assistant qualification. For many, it’s the perfect blend of professional development and personal growth.
But it’s not about building your CV—it’s about creating something bigger. As Amber explains, “I’ve started a business. It not only gives me independence but also allows me to make a real difference in children’s lives.
Why It Matters
In a world where creativity and confidence are more important than ever, opportunities like this are vital.
Education-focused initiatives, particularly those centred on performing arts, give young people tools they’ll use for life. For graduates, it’s equally empowering. Running a Drama Kids academy offers flexibility, autonomy, and the chance to lead with purpose. It’s more than a business—it’s a way to contribute to something meaningful while building your own future.
