Apprenticeships could help level the playing field and help those from less advantaged backgrounds enter the arts and cultural sector, but it isn’t happening. Plain old prejudice is getting in the way, says Sara Whybrew.

Creative & Cultural Skills

 

ArtsProfessional is working in partnership with Creative & Cultural Skills to present a series of articles and research findings to encourage employers and policy makers to address entrenched social inequalities and recruitment processes in our workforce; to promote and support best employment practice for apprenticeships; and to call upon the sector to improve the long-term diversity of our workforce.
 

Creative & Cultural Skills works to create a fair and skilled cultural sector by shaping skills, education and employment best practice. We provoke action and enable learning opportunities that drive change and help to build an inclusive skilled sector.
