Programme Commitment

By taking part in the programme, you commit to participating in meetings, workshops, and mentoring sessions. If you do not stay in touch with us for more than one month, we will offer your spot to someone else.

We will do our best to get you paid work with our clients, but we can’t guarantee placements throughout the 8 months as it’s very dependent on current client requirements. Therefore, if you are on our programme we still encourage you to find work for yourself during this time. We have made lots of successful placements in our previous Rising Talent cohorts, and hope we can continue to do the same, but if we are unable to place you on any bookings, we hope you still get value from the programme through the mentorships, workshops and support from the TCC team.

Our Commitment to Diversity

The Crewing Company is passionate about creating a welcoming and nurturing environment for all freelancers. We strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups to reflect the diverse society we live in. We are committed to being an equal opportunities employer, aiming to foster an inclusive workplace that embraces a diverse range of voices and talents.
