The UK screen industries are world-renowned - but few realise the range of skills needed to bring productions to life. In our piece in FE News, ScreenSkills CEO Laura Mansfield explores how #apprenticeships can offer a valuable pathway into these careers: https://t.co/gCuAyrlTuA

[ScreenSkills @UKScreenSkills]

We believe the future of the UK screen workforce should be shaped by the people who work within it.

That’s why we’ve launched a nationwide survey mapping skills needs across the #screenindustries.

Take our survey before 31 December: https://t.co/Ol2aEabOER #film #tv

Now off to the candlelight supper in the sky. Thank you for everything.

Hyacinth’s final words in Keeping Up Appearances seem fitting.

[Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire @MayorOfWY]

@lisanandy has announced £150 million to give creatives across England a fair chance to flourish, without them needing to leave to achieve.

Our creative industries are one of our fastest growing sectors, creating skilled jobs and vibrant communities.

Yet for too long, they’ve been concentrated in London and the South East, fuelled by talent from the rest of the country.

By harnessing this funding together, we will champion our great Northern talent and build a brighter Britain that works for all.
