What is the proportion working in the sector that have undertaken creative courses? Is this a predictor of those that go on to work in the culture and creative Industries sectors?

Background

Research is also needed to help AHT’s understanding of international cultural markets, where the UK sits comparatively and the impact culture has on international diplomacy. Protecting the UK’s cultural assets and understanding ways to consolidate and make better use of crucial data across AHT sectors is also of interest and more research on best practice would be useful.
