9 Universities Partner with Creatively to Showcase Creative 2020 Graduates

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. This new initiative, called Creatively Class of 2020, will spotlight the work of rising creative talent from universities across the country and help them network and find job opportunities in creative industries.

Creatively is working with Pratt, Parsons, FIT, Yale Architecture, NYU, University of Cincinnati, The City College of New York,  Academy of Art University and Bronx Community College. Together, they have identified 46 standout creatives at these schools. Each school nominated students from the class of 2020 and the Creatively team worked with these graduates to showcase their portfolios to 70+ brands on the platform, including Alice+Olivia, Glossier, Vince, Saks, Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith’s Westbrook Media, PopSugar, BFA, Beautycounter, TripAdvisor, and Robert Courtier Inc.
