A regeneration boss has launched a £4 million skills programme designed to help people across the North East secure jobs in the region’s expanding creative industries.
North East mayor Kim McGuinness has introduced the Create Talent Programme, a three-year initiative that will provide hundreds of residents with training, mentoring, networking opportunities and work experience across music, screen, writing and publishing.
The scheme will be delivered by Generator, The NewBridge Project, ITV Signpost and New Writing North, with a focus on closing skills gaps and building a diverse workforce ready to support national and international production companies.
