5th National Conference Supporting Creative Industries
Submitted by infosol on Wed, 17/03/2010 - 16:59.
Despite impressive industry growth, graduates are still struggling to find work in the creative and cultural sectors. Employers still feel that graduates are leaving Higher Education without the right skills to succeed, and HEIs still feel that students are arriving without the necessary skills to get the most out of their courses.
This conference will bring together thought leaders from government, industry and education to get information about the latest creative industry skills needs and discover new opportunities for collaboration in support of them.
Delegates at the conference will:
- Review progression routes in to the creative and cultural industries and the role FE and HE can play
- Learn how FE and HE institutions can contribute more to the creative economy through supporting the development of new business models
- Get the latest on digital developments in the creative industries and the contribution education can make
- Receive practical guidance on work placements for students, and how they can get involved with employers in the creative sector
- Discuss the latest research on creative graduate destination data
