What we’re doing
Our missions to turbo-charge the West Midlands creative content sector
Skills, equity, diversity, and inclusion are cross-cutting themes through all our five missions, and we have been selected as one of the BFI's skills clusters to support this activity.
Create Central is delighted to have been chosen as one of six UK BFI Skills Clusters, which aim to build local skills bases by helping people across the West Midlands, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, find viable routes into the screen industry and effective career development support.
“Our hugely successful industry-first model, pioneered through Create Central’s bootcamps, seeks to fill existing gaps, providing real opportunities to diverse local talent.
With this support from the BFI, awarding funds from the National Lottery, and West Midlands Combined Authority, I’m delighted we’ll be able to deliver a range of activities over the next three years which will create a skilled local workforce to meet our growing production needs.”
The West Midlands IP Fund is funded by West Midlands Combined Authority and delivered by Creative UK in collaboration with Create Central.
Our extensive conversations with industry, public sector and individuals have allowed us to identify five priority areas, listed below, that would benefit from Create Central action and provide the most effective interventions to enable us to reach our vision for the West Midlands creative content sector of 2030.
