Causing much celebration
![Page 17: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Backstage Centre…](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816143550346895dd0bb06/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A little late…
![Page 18: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Backstage Centre…](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816143550346895dd0bb06/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
But bang on budget…
![Page 19: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Backstage Centre…](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816143550346895dd0bb06/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
…and with an enviable level of build quality
![Page 20: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Backstage Centre…](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816143550346895dd0bb06/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
It really is a building to be proud of
![Page 21: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Backstage Centre…](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816143550346895dd0bb06/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
![Page 22: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Backstage Centre…](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816143550346895dd0bb06/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
But why, when a cultural sector such as Britain’s, that is seen as vibrant, successful and expanding is it necessary to develop and build a complex piece of infrastructure such as The Backstage Centre?
![Page 23: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Backstage Centre…](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816143550346895dd0bb06/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
IMAGE TO BE INSERTED
The UK’s music and theatre industries are world-class …and therefore need world-class training
![Page 24: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Backstage Centre…](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816143550346895dd0bb06/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Backstage Centre responds to an identified need for new jobs and these growing industries
Growth that cannot be matched by current training offers
![Page 25: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Backstage Centre…](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816143550346895dd0bb06/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The Backstage Centre and others like it, in partnership with colleges and industry training providers, are crucial to further developing the technical skills and expertise needed to support the fast-growing creative industries
![Page 26: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Backstage Centre…](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816143550346895dd0bb06/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
In a sector where there is a lack of venue space available for training activity due to constant revenue earning usage, and a sector that traditionally works unsocial hours
![Page 27: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Backstage Centre…](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816143550346895dd0bb06/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
…and because existing training provision often lacks the scale and technical infrastructure to match venues that graduates may work in once in the profession
![Page 28: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Backstage Centre…](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816143550346895dd0bb06/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Students often lack access to professional practitioners and practice, as it is difficult for college students to train on professional performances and in professional and commercial venues
![Page 29: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Backstage Centre…](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816143550346895dd0bb06/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Meaning that students often leave collegeLacking the vocational skills necessary to get a job in the sector
![Page 30: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Backstage Centre…](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081507/56816143550346895dd0bb06/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Working with the Further Education sector and industry training providers, the centre will deliver training that helps to develop the technical skills and expertise needed to support the fast-growing music, theatre and live events industries to enable them to achieve their economic potential
