Running from 2011-2018 our Step Change programme supported people looking to make a significant change in their careers, be that promotion or moving field. It supported National Theatre staff and those outside the organisation employed and  self-employed alike.
This programme is currently under review.

Staff development programmes

We support our staff who are accepted onto Clore Leadership Programmes and Common Purpose programmes . These help out staff to reach their full potential.  We also run programmes including “Accelerate”  in collaboration with other organisations to advance the careers of those from underrepresented backgrounds.
