Recommendation 25

The creative industry provides an opportunity for employment and economic growth in Wales. Wales already has a strong reputation in this area and produces programmes which are seen by a global audience. However, the industry is currently threatened by the skills shortage in this area. We welcome the plans published by Creative Wales and by the UK Government to address skills shortages in this area, and this needs to be seen as an area of priority. However, more still needs to be done to address skills shortages.
