The Sector Skills Agreement for Wales
The Welsh Assembly Government has identified the creative industries as one of the areas of strategic importance to the Welsh economy.
It is recognised that they make a significant contribution to the economy as a whole, and have an impact beyond this on the cultural development and heritage of the country, as well as to the quality of our society and our lives.
The creative industries also play a key role in the continued strength of the Welsh language.
To this end, our Sector Skills Agreement for Wales (SSA) is a strategic action plan based on an extensive programme of research into the current and future skills the creative media industries need. You can download it here:
Sector Skills Agreement for Wales
Sector Skills Agreements are designed to ensure that the skills employers and learners need in order to succeed are the ones the education and learning system provides. This document revises and updates our previous SSA and reflects the considerable progress that has been made since then.
As well as a current analysis of the skills situation for each sector, this SSA update takes into account the latest economic and policy situation and the changes and challenges against which the SSA must be delivered.
It sets out a new and demanding vision and agenda for action in this context and sets out key challenges and solutions for Government and stakeholders.
The SSA is both a statement of industry need and a reconfirmation of industry commitment and investment. Critically, it is a tool for harnessing and declaring partner commitment to our mission.
We want to build on what we have already achieved together and develop measurable, joined-up declarations of action, with well-defined outcomes, against which we can all be held to account.
