Fast Track project for disabled people
Fast Track is due to start at the end of April and is a project run by the Independent Theatre Council. The aim of the project is to get more disabled people working in management positions in London based Arts organisations.
Fast Track combines a 15-week work placement at a performing arts venue with management training in topics including marketing and negotiating contracts. Participants also receive a bursary payment of £2250 and ongoing mentoring and support.
The project is run in conjunction with Shape and is funded by the London Development Agency.
