Launched in June, the Creative and Digital Media Apprenticeship scheme is a new qualification designed to give participants the know-how, the experience and the access to key industry contacts. It is designed to enhance the work of the company and to develop promising, committed young people.

Employers in the Creative Industries are taking on apprentices. Many of the young people are highly motivated and are choosing apprenticeships rather than university. All apprentices receive training from industry practitioners in skills identified by the employer.

One of the three UK pilot schemes is based in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.

If you are interested in taking the Apprenticeship, if you are an employer interested in hiring an Apprentice, or if you are a training provider or awarding body you should use the links below to find out more about how you can get involved.
