# Shift into your future

> SHIFT is a unique collaborative training programme which was created in 2019 to support the business skills development and transition of Arts and Creative industries students and new graduates out of Higher Education. Led by The Glasgow School of Art (GSA), the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS) and Queen Margaret University Edinburgh (QMU), the programme has welcomed over 500 students. In 2024, students and graduates from other Universities across Scotland joined the community. Working in collaboration with the Creative Entrepreneurs Club and a dynamic team of creative practitioners, facilitators, founders and sole-traders, SHIFT aims to equip participants with the tools, plans, contacts, and skills they need for a life working in the arts and creative industries.
