Case Studies
The success of the creative media industries is vital to the success of the UK economy. It is the skills and talents of people working in the industry which are the key to that success. In a rapidly changing and increasingly competitive global business environment, the UK creative media workforce can set itself apart by meeting the skills challenges.
The creative media industries are in the best position to identify the current and emerging skills needs for their sectors. For this reason, Skillset has used a sector-led approach, allowing the creative media industries to take the lead in forming tailor-made business solutions.
This approach has also helped to create partnerships between industry and the education system. Until now, the supply-side in education - the colleges and universities, the qualifications bodies, the funding bodies, the government through targets - has dominated what gets delivered to industry by the education and skills development systems.
The sector-led approach - listening to what employers really need - is changing this.
The case studies below exemplify the successes resulting from working in this way.
