UK Music and Creative & Cultural Skills have joined forces to launch The UK Music Skills Academy as the first industry-led effort to improve recruitment practices in the music business. (Chosen excerpts by Job Market Monitor)
Through the Academy, hundreds of young people every year will be able to apply for apprenticeships at record labels, recording studios, management groups, promoters, and audio suppliers who have signed up to the initiative.
Companies already on board include Universal Music, Sony Music, Warner Music, Beggars Group, Cherry Red, Live Nation, Britannia Row, Ad Lib and the National Arenas Association.
Additionally, students opting for further and higher education can enrol with one of the Academy’s education partners, including the BRIT School, University of Hertfordshire and BIMM Music Colleges, and will receive master-classes and guidance from senior executives currently working in the music business.
Music companies will have the opportunity to influence the content and delivery of Academy courses and lectures to ensure they are up to date and tailored to the specific needs of the industry.
