We have helped create over 7,000 apprenticeships opportunities in the sector since 2008. In 2016, on behalf of a consortium of employers and industry organisations, we established the first National College for the Creative and Cultural Industries to offer industry-led apprenticeships and higher level technical qualifications for the creative sector. This College now runs independently of Creative & Cultural Skills. We introduced the first creative apprenticeship frameworks in the UK and are now developing new Apprenticeship Standards (in England) to ensure apprenticeship routes into our workforce exist. We connect training providers to industry experts and enhance their offer to students. We lead the National Skills Academy for Creative & Cultural, a network of partners committed to improving the quality of vocational and technical education in the creative industries. Through this network, we reach over 600,000 young people.
