BBC AND SKILLSET SET FRAMEWORK FOR COLLABORATION ON SKILLS
The BBC and Skillset today signed a Memorandum Of Understanding to promote education and learning across the audio visual industry in order to stimulate creativity and cultural excellence.
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has evolved from the BBC’s Charter and Agreement which came into effect on 1st January this year, and Skillset’s Television Skills Strategy, announced in July 2006. The Charter outlines the BBC’s training responsibilities to the wider industry and the need to further develop strategic partnerships to implement these objectives.
The mutual framework outlined in the MOU enables Skillset, as the Sector Skills Council, to support the BBC in developing skills across the UK and at every level to ensure that the industry remains creative, productive and globally competitive.
The two parties will work on joint action plans across training in television, radio and interactive skills. In addition, they will continue to develop and work on film training initiatives developed by Skillset in partnership with the UK Film Council and in support of the BBC’s MOU’s with the UK Film Council as well as the 14-19 Creative and Media Diploma and the Olympics skills and education legacy.
