Why This Scheme Works for Graduates
We know stepping into the next phase of life comes with tough decisions—whether to start a career, continue studying, or try something new. Owning a business might seem scary, especially without experience. But what if you could make an impact while shaping your future?
Drama Kids can help. Let’s address some common concerns new graduates face:
“I want work that feels meaningful”
After years of education, you want a career that earns and makes an impact. With Drama Kids, you’ll help children build confidence, communication, and creativity—skills for life—while growing a business with purpose.
“I’m worried about finances”
Financial uncertainty can be a major concern when launching any business. That’s why we offer flexible payment options for the franchise fee, along with support in creating a business plan and applying for loans if needed.
“I’m not sure how to start a business”
Starting a business can feel overwhelming, especially after finishing your studies. With our franchise model, you’ll have a proven plan and a support team to guide you. We take the guesswork out of establishing and running a business.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from other graduate schemes?
Unlike traditional graduate schemes where you might be working for someone else or studying for a degree, the Drama Kids Franchise Graduate Scheme gives you the chance to run your own business from the start! You won’t just gain experience – you’ll build a real, sustainable business while receiving support from our team and fellow franchisees.
Will I earn a qualification or degree?
While this scheme doesn’t lead to a university degree, you’ll earn a Level 4 Performing Arts Teaching Assistant qualification as part of your professional development. This equips you with real-world teaching skills; the main focus is on helping you become a successful business owner.
What makes owning a Drama Kids Academy special?
As a Drama Kids franchisee, you’ll be your own boss. Rather than being an employee, you’ll have the opportunity to make an impact in your community by running drama classes that build confidence and creativity in kids – all with the backing of our proven business model.
Is this a full-time job or a learning programme?
Running your own business is a full time commitment. You’ll be learning as you go, but instead of rotating through job roles in a company, you’ll be managing your own academy, making key decisions, and building your business with the full support of our team.
Do I have to follow a set career path like other graduate schemes?
No! This scheme is all about flexibility and independence. You’re not tied to a predefined career path or corporate ladder. You’ll decide how to grow your business, expand your classes, and shape your own future based on your goals.
Will I get hands-on business experience?
Yes, you’ll get real-world business experience from day one! You’ll be in charge of everything from teaching classes to marketing and managing operations. Plus, with ongoing training, you’ll develop essential skills in finance, HR, and administration.
Is there a clear career progression?
Your career progression is in your hands. As your academy grows, you’ll have opportunities to expand, add more classes, or even acquire additional territories. The potential is endless, and the direction is up to you!
How does this compare financially to traditional graduate schemes?
While other schemes might offer a salary, you’re building your own business, which means your income is based on the success of your academy. We offer flexible payment options to make starting up easier, and with our support, you have the potential to earn far more than a traditional graduate salary.
