Creative and digital apprenticeship training provider, Access Industry, hosted an Apprenticeship Curriculum Summit on the 30th and 31st July at New Century, a legendary venue in Manchester’s fast-moving city centre area, which holds a special place in the city’s rich musical legacy.
The event brought together sister brands of the Access Education Group, partners, and former apprentices. The curriculum has been developed with input from leading employers, including the Royal Opera House and White Light, among others from various creative industries, to shape the future of apprenticeship training.
These organisations provided valuable feedback on Access Industry’s apprenticeship curriculum, ensuring it meets the evolving needs of the creative sector and paves the way for cutting-edge education.
“We are proud to be a leading apprenticeship training provider that deeply cares about the industries we work within. This summit underscores our commitment to developing curricula that add significant value to both apprentices and employers. By working closely with these esteemed partners, we can ensure our programmes remain relevant and impactful.” – Jackson Armstrong, Director of Business Development at Access Industry
The summit featured a series of workshops and discussions, allowing contributions to the enhancement of apprenticeship standards. This collaborative effort will help Access Industry address critical skills gaps in the creative sector, ensuring apprentices receive high-quality training that provides them with the necessary skills and knowledge. According to DCMS Sector Skills Shortages and Skills Gaps Data, 33% of job vacancies in the creative industries and 30% of job vacancies in the cultural sector are due to skills shortage.
By working directly with employers, Access Industry is ensuring that apprentices receive the most up-to-date, professionally relevant curriculums possible, addressing current skills gaps and meeting industry needs.
