Web workshops for Schools.
The interactive media industry as a whole have voiced their concerns for Britain’s future achievement and sustained leaders of creative innovation. 1 in 5 employers looking to recruit face difficulties attracting the right applicants with the relevant skills. A common need sounded by companies is the search for people with ‘hybrid’ skills- the combination of creative and technical thinking, complimented with transferable life and work skills. These skills need to be developed throughout education so young people are ready when entering the work place. 9 out of 10 employers would like to see changes in teaching creative skills implemented by schools.*
