Learning while working
The organisation advance education in a way that enables beneficiaries to make up their own minds on subjects rather than the organisation promoting a specific opinion or view, by allowing them to express their point of view during the training process, as they learn while working are treated as a professional since the beginning .
This openness provides a safe professional ambience without the pressure of big corporations, allowing the trainees to develop, gain confidence, experience teamwork, and build their own idea about the industry and professional career.
Educational Merit
All subjects approached by the training programmes from the Hexagonal Foundation are organised according to the demand in the related industry, based on information from specialised institutions, communities, and job centres.
The main goal is to provide a professional experience for young, vulnerable and disabled people who couldn’t achieve it if not through a proper professional career improvement programme, due to the lack of opportunities or low investment in social projects for specific young people communities.
Purposes
The Hexagonal Foundation purposes are carried out by offering free technical, vocational and professional skills improvement courses, services and mentoring by consolidated professionals from the artistic, media and music industry.
Events are projected aiming first professional experience for young, vulnerable and disabled people, in partnership with companies that already have reserved capital for social projects.
Through a partner with the institution Innovate UK Edge, professional contacts are done with volunteers, partners, supporters and sponsors.
The programmes are set in accordance with private and public partnerships and provide opportunities for communities as a whole, and also citizens individually, improving well being and long term employability.
Benefits & Opportunities
The benefits of the organisation purposes are varied but assertive.
The music industry is changing, especially during the pandemic. The sector is suffering a huge alteration of direction of investment and the big labels stoped making new contracts as before, for more than 2 years.
This factor made the number of artists without a contract skyrocket, bringing the unemployment rate to a very high level as well. now the independent artist sector is literally falling into poverty and urgently in need of some socio constructive action.
The programs of the Hexagonal Foundation and its partners come to provide some opportunities specifically for unemployed professionals from the music and media industry, those on Universal Credit or without any contract or investment.
The projects are also providing a socio constructive community, where everybody works, and everybody wins. Creating professional opportunities for young, vulnerable and disabled people, to learn while working, gain confidence, have their first professional experience and also be part of the projects already as a professional.
The Hexagonal Foundation uses the work force of their trainees in areas such as music production, marketing, promotion and distribution, to support independent artists in need of promotional campaigns for their new releases.
One sector is being trained while working to help others, in a very dynamic way.
