Pick the Tick to find the best graduates
With so many media courses out there at institutions all over the UK, how can you possibly know which graduates are the best ones to recruit?
Actually, it's surprisingly simple.
Pick the Tick.
The Skillset Tick is a kitemark of quality indicating the media degrees and universities best suited to prepare people for a career in creative media.
For a course or institution to be awarded the Skillset Tick, it has undergone a rigorous assessment process conducted by experts working in the Creative Media Industries. They only give the Tick to those courses and universities that have the strongest links with industry.
This ensures that the courses keep up with the rapid pace of change in creative media, and students benefit from using the latest technologies and working with industry throughout their studies.
Employment in the Creative Media Industries continues to grow at an annual rate of 2%. However, there is an oversupply of graduates who have received a general ‘creative media' education.
Skillset understands that, as an employer, you don't want to have to provide new employees with basic skills and knowledge that they should already have learnt, nor do you have time to sift through hundreds of mediocre applicants to find the one who can hit the ground running. We know that you need a simple indicator of the best graduates.
