Sector Reviews/Action Plans

The Review of education and training within the Creative & Media Sectors is to become one of the key drivers of this SPN

The document provides a valuable insight into the supply and demand for provision related to these sectors, the quality & performance of provision, and provides a detailed action plan for the sectors based on the reports findings.
