Creative Britain: New Talents for the New Economy

The long awaited DCMS strategy paper was launched today and evidently the key focus of government is on apprenticeships. 5,000 of them for the creative industries apparently.

The games industry of course has its own Modern Apprenticeship, developed in a partnership between Skillset, City College Brighton and NCSoft Europe, it looks that getting further industry support for this is going to be high on our list of priorities.

Elsewhere in the report there are some very positive mentions for our work with Higher Education and commitment to look at the possibilities for professional ‘centres of excellence’ for training in animation and games.
