About Skillset
Skillset is the Sector Skills Council for the Audio Visual and Publishing Industries. Jointly funded by industry and government, our job is to make sure that the UK audio visual industries have the right people, with the right skills, in the right place, at the right time, so that our industries remain competitive.
We conduct consultation work with industry, publish research and strategic documents, run funding schemes and project work, and provide information about the challenges that face the industry and what we need to do to overcome them. We also provide impartial media careers advice for aspiring new entrants and established industry professionals, online, face to face and over the phone. Whether you are a freelancer looking for training information, a student seeking careers advice or a public agency partner, we aim to provide you with easy access to the information you may require.
This area of the website has information on our role, corporate information, such as annual reports, useful news and an events area. You will also be able to find contact details for Skillset staff, details of our Board and Patrons and information on how we are structured and deliver our role. If there is anything about Skillset that you feel is missing and would like to see included in this area, please let us know by e-mailing us at info@skillset.org.
