Support for courses for the TV industry
The Skillset TV Skills Fund invests in training and development activities that will benefit the UK television industry.
Freelancers make up over a third of the TV industry's workforce, but only a fifth of TV employers carry out training and development for the freelancers they employ, and this is usually on the job training (Source: 2006 Skillset Employment Census).
If you are a freelancer, you can be sure that the courses supported by the Fund are of a high standard and meet the current needs of the industry. This is because training that is supported by the Skillset TV Skills Fund must show benefit to the television industry across the UK and respond to the needs of the industry in addressing skills gaps and shortages.
The Skillset TV Skills Fund is the result of an agreement between UK broadcasters and the Indie Training Fund (ITF) to invest in training for the freelance television workforce. The contributors are: BBC, Channel 4, Five and cable and satellite companies, and the ITF via contributions from member companies.
