“The industry is rich with youth, but lacking in young people from diverse backgrounds. Unless you know someone who knows someone, have the financial security to survive this economy or live in zone 2, it’s a difficult road to pursue. Organisations such as the UK Creative Festival become critical for bridging the industry with those outside of the bubble." Jeremy Green Charlene Chandrasekaran ECD of The Or and Jeremy Green CEO of UK Creative Festival explain to Campaign UK why they believe the creative industry needs to work harder to make it accessible to young, diverse talent. This is why The Creative Foundation was born and why the free-to-access Creative Careers Fair at the UK Creative Festival is just so vital, not just for the next generation of creatives, but for the whole of the creative industry. #ukcreativefestival #youngcreatives #creativeindustry #diversetalent #creativityanddiversity

It’s Day 2 of National Inclusion Week 2024! At the Government Communication Service (GCS) we’re committed to building a workforce that reflects the society we serve - across the UK. Increasing diversity of thought in our teams leads to more creativity, better understanding of our audiences and increased innovation. GCS Apprentice Daniel Greenwood is a Digital Communications Apprentice at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and based outside London. Read Daniel’s reflections on what it’s like working regionally: https://lnkd.in/e8vxJtpz Earlier this year we published: ✅Top tips for vacancy holders (for GCS members) on running fair campaigns - https://lnkd.in/eFDed67g ✅Guidance for candidates - https://lnkd.in/eYpHmPNJ We’ve pulled out some top tips for nailing your application and interview: 1 Tailor your application: No job application is the same as the last one. Tailor your skills and experiences to the job description, using examples to showcase why you will be great for the role. 2 Success Profiles: You may be asked to give examples of your work against the Civil Service success profiles. The job advert will detail which ones will be assessed and when - prepare by reading what is required for each behaviour.  3 STAR: Use the STAR format when talking about your experience (Situation, Task, Action, Result). Use ‘I’ and always describe the result - what impact did your work have? #GovernmentCommunicationService #GCS #UKGovComms #AccessibleCommunications #NationalInclusionWeek #ImpactMatters

"You're replaceable. You leave today, they'll hire someone to take your spot tomorrow." I'm not so sure about this commonly used saying. The second part _maybe_ is accurate, but taking someone's "spot" and taking on their duties is one thing - actually finding someone who did what you did - to the level and with the care and precision (let alone talk of institutional knowledge) - is a whole other thing. (Yes, that sentence is an English-language nightmare - I'm a STEM educator, not an ELA teacher) ;0) But seriously - I think people leaving jobs is an extremely disruptive event for institutions and companies. It can often force them to go in entirely different directions. As much as we're not supposed to make decisions around individuals, it sure does happen...! Why? Because you bring something special. When that company or institution hired you, they struck gold. So yes, maaaaybe your position can be filled in a short amount of time, but being "replaceable?" I'd question that one.

'Despite the clear economic value of the creative industries to the UK, the sector is also facing significant skills gaps and shortages, with almost half of creative employers reporting skills issues.'
