PROPEL is our 40-day paid work placement programme for early-career creatives working in producing, production and programming

PROPEL has connected emerging talent with top festivals, theatres, and performance companies across the North for over two years. For 2025, we’ve partnered with some exciting new hosts in Bradford and West Yorkshire, offering five hands-on paid placements in production, producing, and programming.

We’re excited to have partnered with Bradford 2025 to offer an early-career Bradford producer a 40-day placement working as an Assistant International Producer in autumn 2025.
