The Culture Secretary, Jeremy Wright, has announced a new apprenticeships pilot scheme to enable young people from all backgrounds to work in the film and TV industry. £100,000 investment from the government will be used to enable 25 apprentices to benefit from a new model exploring how high-quality apprenticeships can be used to deliver multiple placements on film and TV productions, as well as addressing skills shortages in the industry. The Creative Industries Council has also launched a Diversity Charter to commit the industry to take action to create a more diverse workforce and output that appeals to people from all backgrounds and regions of the UK.
