About Creative Skillset

Creative Skillset is the Creative Industries' Sector Skills Council (SSC) which comprises TV, film, radio, interactive media, animation, computer games, facilities, photo imaging, publishing, advertising and fashion and textiles.

Our aim is to support the productivity of our industry to ensure that it remains globally competitive. We do this by influencing and leading; developing skills, training and education policy; and through opening up the industries to the UK's pool of diverse talent.

We conduct consultation work with industry, publish research and strategic documents, run funding schemes and project work, and provide information about the challenges that face the industry and what we need to do to overcome them.

We also provide impartial Creative Industries careers resources for those looking for a route in, as well as for established industry professionals online and over the phone. Whether you are a freelancer looking for training information, a student furthering your knowledge of industries or a public agency partner, we aim to provide you with easy access to the information you require.
