Media, Internet & Creative Arts

As one of the fastest-growing sectors in the UK, this hugely diverse industry contributes a whopping £116 billion to the national economy each year and employs more than 2 million people.

The creative arts industry covers a variety of job sectors ranging from film and television to publishing, music, and video games. The Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership (GLLEP) is committed to improving digital prospects for young people seeking employment in creative fields in line with the overall government agenda by providing increased funding to businesses in this industry.

Typically, the industry is perceived as notoriously competitive, usually requiring a high level of experience as well as talent for specific specialised roles. However, there are also many general and administrative roles that can allow you to get a foothold within the industry and help you build your skills for your future career.
