Skillset's offer to the Photo Imaging industry
Guided by the Photo Imaging Skills Forum and following extensive research and consultation with industry, Creative Skillset has produced a series of priorities for our work with the sector.
These recommendations will support and benefit both potential new entrants to the industry and the existing workforce, whether they are individuals responsible for their own development or companies responsible for the development of their employees.
These will be regularly reviewed to ensure the focus of our activity remains relevant to industry needs.
Creative Skillset will:
- Facilitate access to business skills support packages, that will benefit individuals and companies at different stages of their business growth.
- Engage with education to highlight the importance of embedding business skills into their course curriculum.
- Explore how best to direct companies and individuals to ‘quality assured' providers of short courses that meet immediate specialist technical skills gaps.
- Examine the potential for accrediting industry based training, to satisfy industry demands for recognition of this valuable source of skills development.
- Work in collaboration with industry and Higher Education to develop formal partnerships that highlight and recognise excellence.
- Encourage the utilisation and promotion of industry informed qualifications, such as S/NVQs and City & Guilds VRQs.
- Work with key partners to develop and deliver relevant industry informed careers guidance to benefit both the existing workforce and potential entrants at all levels.
