UK Boosts Creative Sector with 2,000 New Apprenticeships

London, UK – Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy today unveiled a new Creative Industries Sector Plan, promising a substantial boost to the UK’s arts and media landscape. The initiative aims to nearly double current investment in creative industries over the next decade, with a particular focus on youth employment. A cornerstone of the plan is the creation of 2,000 new film and television apprenticeships across the United Kingdom. These roles will span various creative fields, including film, fashion, television, music, and video games, ensuring opportunities are distributed across all nations and regions. Speaking on the announcement, Secretary Nandy expressed strong confidence in the plan's impact. "We are creating 2,000 film and TV apprenticeships across the UK," she stated. "This will be the best country in the world to invest in the creative industries and create good jobs and growth in every community." The government anticipates that this strategic investment will not only strengthen the UK's position as a global leader in creative industries but also foster significant economic growth and provide vital career pathways for young people.
