The first meeting of SRC's new Creative Industries Development Forum took place recently. The Forum was attended by representatives from the creative industry and provided an opportunity to discuss training requirements within the industry. The forum gave employers / creative practitioners an insight into the range of support programmes available through the Business Support Centre. The Head and Deputy Head of School for Creative Studies attended the forum to discuss the content of SRC Creative courses and to determine if students were leaving with the appropriate skills set.

- Help Identify relevant skills needs as a creative practitioner and/or business owner
