Skillset
Skillset is the Sector Skills Council for the Audio Visual Industries (broadcast, film, video, interactive media and photo imaging). Jointly funded by industry and government, our job is to make sure that the UK audio visual industries have the right people, with the right skills, in the right place, at the right time, so that our industries remain competitive.
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 media careers advice for aspiring new entrants and established industry professionals, online, face to face and over the phone. Whether you are a freelancer looking for training information, a student seeking careers advice or a public agency partner, we aim to provide you with easy access to the information you may require.
Skillset recognises that the audio visual industry both serves, and draws, on the talents and skills of a diverse population. The diversity consists of visible and non-visible differences. It is the harnessing of these differences, which results in a globally successful, creative and productive industry. As the Sector Skills Council, Skillset is pro-active in setting and sustaining quality standards of training and development in such a way as to value these differences in the attainment of personal and corporate goals.
