Creative Skillset has now opened its first call for funding for training as part of its new Film Skills Strategy.
The first funding round offers £750,000 to both organisations and individuals, with the latter able to apply for up to 80% to the costs of training for a maximum of £800 in areas of skills shortages such as craft and technical and health and safety. International scholarships are also available.
The applications are due by July 18 for organisations, which can offer subsidized training in the initial priority areas of production management, VFX, career and business acceleration, digital content and audience choice and creative talent development.
Creative Skillset is also launching two new funding schemes for organisations worth £400,000 for the year – Emerging Needs and Innovation. £150,000 will be available in this first round.
The funding is part of Creative Skillset’s new four-year Film Skills Strategy, which runs through 2017. The organisation’s film work is funded by the BFI with National Lottery »
