Skillset is the Sector Skills Council (SSC) for Creative Media which comprises TV, film, radio, interactive media, animation, computer games, facilities, photo imaging, publishing, advertising and fashion and textiles.
Their aim is to support the improvements to the productivity of the creative media industry to ensure that it remains globally competitive. They do this by influencing and leading; developing skills, training and education policy; and through opening up the industries to the UK's pool of diverse talent.
Skillset has recently developed several Creative Media Workforce and Employer Surveys, which, will help Skillset to provide a most comprehensive profile of working life in the UK's Creative Media Industries. They will also provide an assessment of how the industry is faring in the current global economic climate.
Skillset are asking the publishing industry to take part in a survey to gauge skills needs, experience of training and recruitment, future plans and working patterns. Findings will be used to directly inform Skillset's ongoing work with the Creative Media Industries and assist in pinpointing future training support, issues affecting the sector and spot trends that could lead to skills shortages or over-supply. The Sector Skills Council will tailor interventions and allocate funding to have the most significant immediate benefit to the sector.
