A new film has been launched today by the National Apprenticeship Service to encourage more young people to take up an Apprenticeship in the creative sector. The film features four young people working in different creative industries who share their stories about how an Apprenticeship set them on their way to a future career in the creative sector.
The four rising stars from BBC 1’s The One Show, digital media agency Twofour, photography company Seven Spring Studios, and creative industry training provider Diversity in Visual Arts, also talk about the varied job roles and opportunities available.
Employers, led by Creative Skillset, the Sector Skills Council for the Creative Industries, are being encouraged to promote the film across the sector and to young people. In addition, the National Apprenticeship Service will use the film in schools resource packs and at careers events across the country.

Luke Boatright, 21, formerly an advanced apprentice in Creative and Digital Media at the BBC, and now a junior art director for BBC 1’s The One Show, who features in the film said: “My Apprenticeship gave me experience, one of the best qualifications possible in the TV industry, as well as the opportunity to build a network of contacts. The experience has proved invaluable. The creative industry is incredibly broad in terms of the type of job you could end up doing so an Apprenticeship is a great way to explore what’s on offer. I would definitely encourage more young people to think about doing an Apprenticeship.”
