JAMES (Joint Audio Media Education Support) has helped establish a new studio apprenticeship scheme to develop songwriters and composers.
The group has recently worked with Creative and Cultural Skills on the scheme, which will be launched by Culture Minister Ed Vaizey on 17 July.
The apprenticeship will be part of the National Skills Academy and the first in a series of collaborations aimed at developing the skills of producers, songwriters and composers.
Phil Harding, JAMES chairman, said: ‘An industry apprenticeship scheme is long overdue and will benefit many students and our industry.
‘We are therefore very happy to be working with the National Skills Academy and Creative and Cultural Skills. JAMES considers education and training to be vital in nurturing tomorrow’s talent. Our initiatives are designed to facilitate the highest standards, thus ensuring that many years of recording industry experience are not lost to future generations.’
Jo Dipple, Chief Executive of UK Music, added: ‘I am thrilled JAMES and Creative and Cultural Skills have teamed up to create the new Studio Apprenticeship Scheme. Young people from all backgrounds, and all walks of life, will now have the opportunity to break into an exciting and highly skilled sector.’
