Why Up-Skilling Educators Matters Now
The UK’s film and high-end TV industry is growing faster than education can supply skilled professionals. Up-skilling teaching staff enables institutions to support the creative economy.
Creative employers lack high-skill talent as found by Creative PEC’s ‘State of the Nations’ 2025 report.
Our industry hit a record high, growing 31% year-on-year reported by BFI, 2024.
To support the booming production sector, the UK requires nearly 21,000 more skilled professionals.
