If you're a recent design grad in Australia and hearing crickets on the job search, this is your sign to apply today.

Round 4 of Never Not Finishing School kicks off June 15, and over 9 weeks you'll get honest, practical advice from industry leaders, experienced practitioners, and emerging creatives on:

Never Not Finishing School is back by popular demand:

Finishing your degree is supposed to feel like a beginning, but for a lot of creative graduates, it feels more like a wall.

We've heard from dozens of talented graduates who love their craft but don't know how to navigate the industry. Who can talk about design theory but freeze when talking about themselves. Who are applying everywhere and hearing nothing back.

That's why we created Never Not Finishing School.

Round 4 kicks off June 15th - 9 weeks of honest advice from industry leaders to emerging creatives about the stuff that actually matters:

→ Finding the right opportunities
→ Talking about yourself and your work without the cringe
→ Looking after your wellbeing while job hunting
→ Building confidence in your creative practice
→ Standing out to future employers

Tuesday or Wednesday evenings for 9 weeks. Online. Interactive. Supportive.
$150 (refunded on completion).

“This course stopped me from quitting my dream, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you." – Recent graduate

If you know a recent creative industry graduate in Australia who could use this support, please share this with them.

Applications close June 5th, and spots are limited.

The heaviest daily AI users in the creative industry? 35–44 year olds. Not the youngest generation.

Only 17% of 18–24 year olds use AI daily — yet 80% say they find it useful. And concern about AI still sits at 6.7/10.

So why does the pressure to use it feel so invisible?
