Apple and The King's Trust announced Creative Labs on October 7, 2026, expanding their education partnership with workshops intended to help young people explore careers in creative industries. The first activities are linked to Apple Music Hall at Battersea Power Station in London.
Apple says the first cohort will include up to 20 young people ages 18 to 30. Music-industry and creative workshops began this week, with additional sessions and cohorts planned over the next year. Participants will work with Apple experts and technology.
The program is an education initiative, not a new Apple device or a promise of employment. The announcement does not provide a public enrollment opening date or establish that anyone can immediately join.
Apple also says it is working with The King's Trust on resources intended to build AI literacy and creativity among educators and young people. That work is distinct from a claim that every Creative Labs workshop already includes a specific AI curriculum.
The partnership builds on Apple's support for the Trust's STEAM education since 2019. Tim Cook and King Charles III attended the launch. The supported news is the new workshop program and its first cohort, not an independently measured result for participants.
