Skillset is compiling evidence from a range of sources including employers and trade organisations on skills issues as a result of the recession on the Creative Media industry. Skillset have been asked for this information from a range of government departments to inform proposals and bids for funding to address issues you raise. All information collected will inform Skillset’s ongoing work with the Animation industry. Please do therefore take the opportunity to tell Skillset what skills you need at this critical time.

If you are an employer or are involved in management, please click through this link. It will take around 5-10 minutes. 

If you are a trade organisation, please click through this link and take just 5-10 minutes to answer the questions: 

The questions ask for your experience of the recession and particularly:

skills gaps now and those you predict in the next 12 months,

skills shortages now and in the next 12 months,

recruitment strategies

and changes to skills and development.

Skillset would like to reassure you that your name and company will remain confidential to all except the Skillset Research Team, and any comments made will not be attributed to your company, but to a sector. Skillset will treat any information provided in strict adherence to the Data Protection Act 1998. From the responses you and other organisations in the sector provide, we will also be producing a report summarising the evidence we have gathered which will be published on Skillset’s website. Once you have answered all the questions, you will automatically be re-directed to the Skillset website’s company support page.
