Creative Blueprint

The Creative Blueprint is the Sector Skills Agreement for the Creative & Cultural Industries

The Sector Skills Agreement is altering the way skills are demanded, developed and delivered to the creative and cultural sector. It is an action plan putting employers in control of shaping the industry's future by;

  • assessing the short and long term skills needs
  • mapping out the factors needed for change in the sector
  • reviewing the training that is currently provided
  • analysing the main gaps and weaknesses
  • agreeing how we will work with key funding partners

The Creative Blueprint is at the heart of everything we do as an organisation. All our flagship projects have been developed in response to Blueprint findings.

We are launching the Creative Blueprint in April 2008.
