Employers in Scotland's creative and cultural industries
have been urged to help create 50,000 jobs over the next 1,000 days as part of
a UK-wide campaign.
Building a Creative Nation, led by skills body Creative and
Cultural Skills, is calling on the UK's 106,700 creative firms to recruit a
young person to help reach the target.
The Scottish leg of the campaign was launched at Edinburgh's
National Galleries of Scotland with Youth Employment Minister Angela Constance
and Pauline Tambling, joint chief executive of Creative and Cultural Skills.
A key aim of the campaign is to encourage employers in
fashion, art, film and music to sign up to the fair access principle in order
to make the creative industries more accessible and to show commitment to fair
and sustainable recruitment practice.
It will work with businesses and further education colleges
such as Glasgow Kelvin College and City of Glasgow College. READ MORE
