Digital Content Overview
Digital Content is a varied and wide-reaching sector, which includes publishing, software, web development, graphic design, computer games, and broadcasting. It spans the whole range of companies that use the tools and functions of interactive media to bring new digital content products and services to market. The convergence of delivery platforms and the introduction of broadband technologies mean that there are many issues on the horizon for digital content producers to consider.
We work with the digital content industries on a range of activities aimed at raising competitiveness and productivity, in particular through the industry organization, the Digital Content Forum (DCF). The DCF brings together trade associations and other membership bodies from across the digital content industries. The DCF gathers views across its membership, gives input into the Government policymaking process, develops shared knowledge and promotes innovation and excellence across the sector. Working with the DTI, it recently produced "UK Digital Content: Exploiting the Opportunity", which identified core issues for the industry and set out its manifesto for growth.
Full details of the DCF and "Exploiting the Opportunity" can be found on the DCF website.

e-Recruitment Projects in the Public Sector - A Government Guide to Best Practice
The Department of Trade and Industry has developed a guide to best practice for e-recruitment projects in the public sector. This Guide, published in March 2005, aims to show public sector HR managers how to make the best use of the experience gained from past e-recruitment projects both inside and outside Government. We want to stimulate debate about the best way to develop cost-effective, fully integrated e-recruitment solutions that will attract high quality candidates to public sector vacancies. Download
In this fast moving area, we are looking to publish a second edition of the Guide later this year, incorporating comments and feedback from users. We welcome your views about improvements to be included.
