The 14-19 Diplomas in IT and Creative & Media
The 14-19 Diplomas in Information Technology and Creative & Media are innovative qualifications driven by employer engagement, ensuring that students gain a real insight into the industry and that employers can instil relevant skills and knowledge into potential future employees.
The fast paced creative and digital industries make up a significant part of the region’s workforce and even in other sectors, creative thinking and IT skills are a must for the next generation of workers. The IT and Creative & Media Diplomas provide excellent opportunities for young people to work alongside industry professionals, engaging in hands-on learning which will prepare them for a future in the creative and digital sectors.
Digital 20/20 has worked with Diploma co-ordinators in the region to run events showcasing and sharing practice, for example a meeting of the Local Authority Education Reference Group looking at the issue of how to run Diplomas in rural areas.
