Size and shape of industries new to Skillset's footprint
In recent years, two industries have been added to Skillset's 'footprint' (meaning those industries within our remit): Photo Imaging and Publishing. In order to shape our activity with these industries we need to collect Labour Market Intelligence (LMI) on them.
Photo Imaging
In 2007, Skillset conducted a survey of the photo imaging workforce, gaining their perspective on: working patterns; training needs and experiences; qualifications; and demographics. Photo imaging will continue to be surveyed separately, jointly with partner organisations, subject to need and funding.
Publishing
The publishing industry will be included in Skillset's main evidence gathering mechanisms, the Census and the Creative Media Workforce Survey, in due course. Publishing was added to our footprint in 2008 and we've collated preliminary data from pre-existing sources.
For more on these industries, see below. Or, to see how we collect information on other sectors, please visit our pages on the size and shape of the industries.
