<p>DCMS has been engaged with the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills on
apprenticeship reforms, in particular on the tourism industry and creative industries.
The second phase of Apprenticeship Trailblazers includes Professional Chefing, and
Hospitality and Tourism Supervisors and Managers. I also launched and co-chair a Tourism
Industry Council with the Minister for Skills and Equalities, Nick Boles. The Council’s
aim is to improve skills, qualifications and apprenticeships within the sector and
will include engagement with the apprenticeship reform scheme.</p><p> </p><p>There
are now more than 4,200 apprenticeships in the creative industries, plus more than
45,000 apprenticeships in ICT. The cinema industry, crafts and newspaper and broadcast
media sectors are all taking part in the second phase of the Apprenticeship Trailblazers.</p><p>
