Creatively is working with nine art, design and fashion schools to spotlight 46 innovative and talented graduates in hopes of helping them find job opportunities.


Recent graduates will be entering the workforce in the midst of a global pandemic, and during the toughest job market since the Great Depression. As a way to help, Creatively, a free job platform for creatives, is partnering with 9 art, design, and fashion schools to spotlight 46 innovative, talented, and unique graduates from the class of 2020 to help them network and find jobs.

Together, they have identified 46 standout creatives at these schools.
