In the past year, junior design roles have been cut by almost a third as fewer companies take on young creatives, a new report shows.
The research has been carried out by global recruitment agency Aquent, which based the figures on the thousands of creative roles it placed last year.
Roles for junior designers fell by 29% compared to 2019, which is reflective of the situation businesses now find themselves in, according to Aquent.
“Stretched resources”
New working conditions and furlough has “left resources stretched to capacity,” the agency says. “This has left little time to train and nurture those entering the industry, meaning the hiring of junior roles is no longer a viable option,” Aquent adds.
