    Oliver Dowden – 2021 Comments on Apprenticeships

    The comments made by Oliver Dowden, the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport on 3 August 2021.

    It’s hugely exciting that Government is working with some of the world’s leading content producers, as well providing funding to make apprenticeships more flexible. Together, these steps mean many more young people from all backgrounds will have the chance to get a start in the UK’s world-class film and TV industry.
