What you want to know

Can I serve several clients as a freelancer?

It is the sector's dominant model, and the entrepreneurship track provides the framework: offer, pricing, contract, invoicing.

Do I need to specialise straight away?

A broad management foundation opens several doors; specialisation is chosen afterwards, with a first field of experience.

Does the sector employ beginners?

Assistant roles are recognised entry-level posts, and they lead quickly to full responsibility.
