Overview
- The Apple x King’s Trust Creative Labs publicly launched Wednesday with an initial cohort of up to 20 participants aged 18 to 30 taking part in music and creative workshops.
- Workshops are timed to the opening of Apple Music Hall at Battersea Power Station and use Apple technology to teach industry‑aligned skills for careers in the creative sector.
- Apple and The King’s Trust say the program will connect participants with Apple experts for hands‑on training, mentorship, and career pathway exposure to improve confidence and employability.
- The partners are developing resources to boost AI literacy for educators and young people, and they plan additional cohorts and sessions to roll out over the coming year.
- The initiative builds on a partnership that began in 2019 to expand STEAM programming in UK schools and seeks to translate that work into direct job‑focused training for young creators.
