The Creative Industries Skills Audits are a sector-wide study by Creative PEC and Work Advance, assessing the current and future skills needs across creative industries sub-sectors.

The Skills Audits reveal that creative economy employers are ambitious for growth, with nearly 50% looking to expand their workforce, but are hampered by an outdated skills system.

The Creative Industries Skills Audits were a key commitment in the UK Government’s Creative Industries Sector Plan, and represent a major new evidence base for the UK’s creative industries. Funded by the DCMS and the Creative Industries Council (CIC) and supported by eleven nationwide sector bodies representing creative sub-sectors, the Skills Audits have clear implications for policy, investment and workforce development.
