This Blog is going to accompany the 'Entry Level Employment in Bristol's Creative Industry's' project and specifically my involvement in said project.
The project, which is being run by the Knowle West Media Centre in conjunction with UWE and Bristol City Council, hopes to find out about the current situation of young people aiming to forge a career on Bristol's creative scene. By visiting many of the city's arts and media centres we're going try to establish what's already out there? what's missing? what more could be done? what barriers are young people coming across?
With Bristol set to become one of Britain's creative hubs, following the announcement that the new Temple Meads Enterprise Zone will be dedicated to creative and digital industries, we're hoping the project will contribute a significant piece of research that will help young people from the area fill a large number of the 17,000 vacancies predicted to arise in the area over the next twenty-five years.
The research will go on for three months and I'll be posting stuff on here about how we get on. I would welcome any ideas or opinions. Constructive criticism is welcome. Non-constructive criticism is also welcome as long as it's funny.
