The Gloucestershire & Wiltshire Skillset Media Academy aims to deliver the right people, with the right skills for the right jobs in the media/creative industries for and from the sub-region.

Being specialist and credible, the new Skillset Media Academy develops professional skills through tailored courses, delivered by current practitioners, in order to build capacity in the creative industries in the sub-region. All members of the partnership are well connected with each other and, through formal and informal networks, with local, regional and national media.

North by Southwest works proactively to interpret meaningfully national policies that inform the sector, both in the provision of integrated media education and in shaping the future of the creative economy.

The partnership uses its track record in providing flexible learner-centred and employer-endorsed opportunities to acquire formal qualifications, industry training, knowledge and skills.

The aim is to respond to the regional context, encouraging participation in media practice across a region that includes social and/or economic exclusion and pockets of urban and rural isolation.
