Bristol Cultural Education Partnership (BCEP) Education and Skills Strand has been working on a wide-range of activities, individually and collectively to extend opportunities for young people to develop their skills, experience and practices through cultural education.
BCEP members have both led, and participated in a wide-range of work. A series of blog posts from individual organisations and BCEP partners working on specific programmes of work concerned with skills and education will be posted between now and January 2014, which will give you more information about these activities and provide links to further information.
The Entry Level Employment in Bristol’s Creative Industries Sector (ELEBCIS) Project took place In tandem with the development of both BCEP and Bristol Temple Quarter Zone (BTQZ) – an Enterprise Zone focused on the Creative Industries and located in Bristol City Centre. The ELEBCIS report – part of the project led by Knowle West Media Centre was published in September 2013, and launched at 'Bristol’s Creative & Digital Sectors – Growing Our Own Workforce' on 25th October 2013.
The ELEBCIS report, and subsequent action plan, led to the development of the partnership bid from BCEP partners (in partnership with Bristol City Council and the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership) to the Creative Employment Programme, which successfully secured funding for 72 paid internships for young people with Bristol’s Arts and Cultural Industries employers. Previously unemployed young people aged 18-25 began working in BCEP member organisations in November 2013, and the programme is continuing, hosted and administered through the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership's Creative Skills Hub.
The ELEBCIS Project was funded by Bristol City Council, The University of the West of England's Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries and Education and Knowle West Media Centre.
