Organisation: Creative & Cultural Skills
Daniel Williams was previously the Engagement Manager for the Creative Employment Programme at Creative & Cultural Skills. He worked with employers across the arts and cultural sector to create new apprenticeship and paid internships for young people aged 16 to 24.
