Skillset Cymru, the Welsh arm of the council, is tasked with taking forward Skillset''s work within a Welsh context.Skillset Cymru has secured funding support from the European Social Fund (ESF) via the Welsh European Funding Office (WEFO) to deliver the Skills for the Digital Economy Programme. This programme seeks to develop and deliver flexible, industry-led, high level skills provision which meets the needs of Creative Media employers and freelancers working in West Wales and the Valleys, supporting the knowledge economy and safeguarding the performance and productivity of the sector in these regions. These regions include the unitary authorities of Isle of Anglesey, Conwy, Denbighshire, Gwynedd,Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Bridgend, Rhondda Cynon Taff, Merthyr Tydfil, Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly and Torfaen. Please note that as a condition of the funding, this programme is not pan-Wales in scope and focuses entirely on supporting the Creative Media workforce in West Wales and the Valleys, where GDP per head in these regions is 7% lower than the European average. For participants to be eligible, they must live or work within these areas. For further guidance on eligibility, please refer to Section 3 of the Delivery Guidelines for Training Providers 2011).Industry in West Wales and the Valleys has identified a need for an audio post production mixing course for film, TV and new media. Delegates will be expected to learn the complex processes and workflows involved with crafting a professional audio mix for visuals using the latest technology and tools (i.e. Protools). The course should provide a detailed overview of the technical, logistical and creative elements when mixing audio for Film, TV and new media platforms. We will be looking to contract with providers who can offer innovative and practical delivery methods.
