  1. National Skills Academy: Education and industry working together Pauline Tambling, Joint CEO Twitter: @nsapaulinet @nsacreative @ccskills

  2. Sector Skills Councils • Work with employers, education and Government to make sure that their sectors can recruit people with the right skills for the job market. • Produce Labour Market Intelligence, support qualifications development and engage with employers. • Funded and licensed by the UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES) and working closely with the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and the Skills Funding Agency.

  3. Creative & Cultural Skills • Our sectors are craft, cultural heritage, design, literature, music, performing arts and visual arts. • Our goal is to enable the creative and cultural industries to reach their economic potential through relevant skills and training. • We work in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

  4. The UK Creative Industries • 66,900 businesses, 85% of which employ fewer than 5 people. • Highly qualified: 54% of workers educated to level 4 or above. • Far more qualified than the UK economy as a whole, where only 34% are educated to this level. • The average worker earns £8.60 an hour, compared with the total economy, where the average hourly wage is £8.69.

  5. Jobs in the creative industries...

  6. The Creative Industries - challenges • A community of small businesses, sole traders and start-ups • Highly attractive to the academically well-qualified with skills gaps in technical areas impacting on diversity and talent pool • Focus on the ‘art’ often at the expense of business, management and leadership skills • Long history of engaging with schools and universities and few links with Further Education

  7. The problem • No history of non-academic entry routes into the sector – lack of diversity and loss of talent • Poor careers advice available to school students – over-supply of performers and artists • No culture of training and development in a fast-changing sector • No history of engagement with Further Education
