£4.5 million for Creative Industries

A £4.5m training boost to ensure people in the Creative Industries have the skills to build a dynamic, enterprising sector has been announced by Deputy Minister for Science, Innovation and Skills, Lesley Griffiths.

The training programme is backed with £2.7m from the European Social Fund, through the Welsh Assembly Government, with the rest of the funds provided by Welsh broadcaster S4C, the trade association for independent producers in film and television in Wales, Teledwyr Annibynnol Cymru (TAC) and Skillset Cymru. The funding will be distributed within the West Wales and the Valleys Convergence area in the next four years.
