Last chance to help paint a picture of the issues facing the Creative Media industry

As you know, Skillset works with and on behalf of your industry to support skills and training for people and businesses to ensure we maintain our world class position. Essential to this is identifying what you and your industry needs in order to ensure resources are targeted to where there is need. Your ongoing work with us to collate this evidence is integral to this process and we are pleased to work with you.

Also essential to the evidence base is the systematic articulation of need from as large a sample of the industry as possible. As you know Skillset has worked with the industry to develop a questionnaire to this end. The opportunity to complete a questionnaire ends next Friday 28^th November 2008. Please could you encourage your colleagues to participate by completing the questionnaire online here: http://www.qualasys.com/skillset_workforce_survey_2008.htm. I am attaching some text you can use to communicate to colleagues if you wish.

The questionnaire takes less than 15 minutes to complete. Questions about how the individual works are asked to put those on training, qualifications and skills into context. All the information provided will be treated in the strictest confidence. Data management will adhere to the 1998 Data Protection Act and the survey findings will be produced in such a way that no individuals will be identifiable.
