Skillset’s TV Freelance Fund (TVFF) will spend almost £1.2 million on television training in five priority areas over this financial year.Read the rest of the press release on the Skillset web site.
The TVFF is made up of voluntary contributions from the BBC, Channel 4, Five, the Indie Training Fund (via contributions from member companies), Sky and other cable and satellite companies, and is designed to invest in training for the entire television workforce.
The opening up of a global market, technological changes in how content is created and consumed and reduced commissioning budgets have all resulted in seismic shifts to traditional business models. Skillset argues that to remain competitive, both companies and individuals need to embrace new skills, techniques and business practices. Therefore, investment will be directed into five priority areas:
- Multiplatform: £300,000
- Management and Leadership: £300,000
- New Entrants: £300,000
- Craft and Technical: £50,000
- Health and Safety: £25,000
According to Broadcast the Multi-Platform budget has been increased by £50,000 which is good news. However yet again Broadcast + Television. Where is the equivalent radio programme?
