Overview
Since its inception, Hachette UK has partnered with Creative Access to improve access to the publishing industry for those typically under-represented in the sector.
Approach
Creative Access has supported Hachette to revise their hiring approach, review job descriptions and develop Positive Action programmes. We have also supported interns to make the move into permanent roles. Together we’ve delivered virtual and in-person masterclasses to educate potential employees about the breadth of roles within the publishing industry.
Impact
Creative Access has a whole-hearted partnership with Hachette UK, providing a more diverse pipeline of talented individuals into the organisation. We’ve placed over 100 candidates from under-represented communities in paid internships at Hachette UK. The majority of these continue to progress through the organisation.
About Hachette UK
