Start your career off on the right track; join Spotlight as a Graduate

Applications to join Spotlight Graduates open in the first term of your final year of professional training. The courses that are eligible for Spotlight Graduate membership are those which have met certain criteria such as the number of contact hours per week, the balance of practical versus theoretical training, whether it offers a showcase or regular performance opportunities and other, industry-relevant requirements.  

For the academic year beginning September 2018, we worked jointly with Equity to recognise the courses whose students are eligible for both Spotlight Graduates and Equity student membership.
