Piece Hall partnership aims to create opportunities for young people in live events industry
A new partnership between The Piece Hall Academy and Calderdale College is aiming to create a pipeline of talent FOR the UK’s live events industry.
The new Level 3 course launches in September 2026, offering people aged over 19 an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in live events and music production, with fully funded places available for eligible learners.
Students will choose between two specialist pathways on the Level 3 one-year course, including Live Event Production, focusing on staging, lighting, sound and event delivery and Music Technology and Production, centred on studio recording, sound design and music creation.
The Piece Hall Academy director, Aaron Casserly Stewart, said: “These two incredible Level 3 qualifications are a huge step forward for Academy.
“It's part of our commitment to creating real opportunities for young people in the borough, tackling inequality and increasing inclusion by encouraging participation from those currently underrepresented in the fields.”
