The skills developed through the project will link directly to needs of the industry and the local sector, young people will be able to shape the activities and their learning based on specific needs and interests of the different groups we are working with the things that are important to them as individuals will help them to identify the correct pathways. This could be a combination of different careers in the industry. For example learning skills in music production, producing high quality music, instrumental skills, skills in foley work, sound engineering, mixing, mastering, live sound and soundreinforcement, events management and production also learning how to share those skills with others, developing skills on how to work with young people effectively.
