Scottish Industry Skills Panel
In Scotland, our Scottish Industry Skills Panel is responsible for guiding and supporting the work we do.
The panel means that Scotland's leading employers,trade unions, further and higher education and public agencies have a say in how we work.
Their advice helps us to design ways to build the skills of the 37,000 people working in Scotland's creative media industries.
