Screen Industries Workforce Development Partnership

An engaged audience attended the first Screen Industries Workforce Development Partnership (WDP) meeting held at the state-of-the-art Shinfield Studios.

The session began with an insightful update from Anna Gration, LSIP Lead, on the Screen Industries recruitment challenges and skills gaps identified within the published Berkshire LSIP report. There was much agreement from the delegates that the findings resonate with the multiple skills needs seen on the ground.

With employers, providers, and partners in the room the WDP Chair, Dominique Unsworth, led an interesting breakout session where priorities for focus were identified and employers committed to be part of the solution to the skills challenge.

The WDP objective to foster dialogue, exchange ideas and promote collaboration was certainly achieved at this first session. The LSIP Team are now working on the feedback from the session to develop pragmatic practical solutions to positively impact the industry.
