Funders

FT2 receives funding from the Film and Television industry through the support of  Skillset’s TV Freelance Fund and Film Skills Fund. The TV Freelance Fund is made up of contributions from all UK broadcasters and independent production. The Film Skills Fund is supported by the National Lottery through the UK Film Council and the film industry through the Skills Investment Fund.

Skillset

Skillset is an independent UK-wide organisation that is owned and managed by the audio visual industries and works with both the industry and government to identify and tackle the skills and productivity needs of the audio visual industries throughout the UK.

Skillset researches where the skills gaps and shortages exist, then we raise funding from the industry and Government to develop and deliver solutions to address these problems. We also inform and influence training provision and qualification development for the competitive benefit of the audio visual industries. We try to ensure those entering the industry are well prepared by offering high quality and realistic careers information and advice and that those in the industry are able to update and develop their skills throughout their careers.

Skillset is a strategic organisation meaning that in many cases we develop and fund skills solutions as opposed to delivering them ourselves.

Their work can be subdivided as follows:

• Careers
• Training
• Company Support
• Standards
• Qualifications
• Research
• Strategy
• Funding
