MANCHESTER CULTURAL PARTNERSHIP

Talent City

The residents of the city are the source of its creative talent; they are also the people who should benefit from it the most. Manchester's cultural framework can be used to help residents acquire new skills, and open up opportunities. In particular, cultural activity can encourage attendance, attainment and aspiration during early years and secondary education and help to nurture the “soft” skills that are essential to the future knowledge economy.

Aims

• To nurture, attract and retain creative talent in Manchester
• To build innovative partnerships between the education and cultural sectors
• To develop Manchester's role as a cultural skills and training centre for the UK

Outcomes

• Enrichment of the cultural skills and education offer available to Manchester's residents
• Manchester acquires a reputation as a hub for cultural and creative skills training
• The cultural and creative sectors make a recognisable contribution to the creation of an increasingly skilled Manchester workforce
