[CMA-L]

Skillset has conducted a comprehensive UK-wide analysis of demand for
skills in the Creative Media Industries and also for each UK nation.
This Strategic Skills Assessment will inform and shape Skillset's
priorities for the year ahead.

The following headline results have been reported to Government:

* Growth in demand for Creative Media skills and employment is predicted
* The industry is at risk of losing talent and skills
* Skills for multi-platform and to take advantage of opportunities
presented by digital media are a major priority
* Skills to develop new business models and an approach to monetising
content are needed
* Other major skills issues: Multi-skilling, Management and
Leadership, broadcast engineering, archiving of content and visual
effects.
* Skillset research needs to continue to measure current and future
skills demand to ensure a constant flow of evidence to inform
priorities and decisions.
