As well as showcasing some of the entry-level opportunities available to those seeking a career in the creative industries in Wales, we’re also committed to nurturing existing talent.

We want to make sure that those already working in the industry can progress in their careers and continue to improve and develop their skills. To do this, we work with partners to make sure training opportunities are available and accessible to all e.g. through funded bursaries.

For the screen sector, we partner with Cult Cymru, National Film and Television School - NFTS Cymru Wales, ScreenSkills and Sgil Cymru to provide essential courses for those working in the sector. We’ve also launched partnerships across our other sectors to help  develop skills projects, such as the Music Managers Forum - MMF.
