Film crew 'boot camp' scheme open

Screen Yorkshire in association with ScreenSkills have announced a new recruitment drive for its film industry training programme ‘Boot Camp’.

Boot Camp is a skills and knowledge development scheme for prospective new entrants into the film and television industry taking place in January 2019. It seeks to provide an enhanced and accelerated bridge between training and the industry through an intensive three day ‘Boot Camp’ programme. Boot Camp is aimed at individuals who are interested in a career in the film industry but who have yet to convert that interest into a regular stream of work. Applications are welcome from individuals who did not study a film-related subject but who have a demonstrable desire to enter the industry. A degree is not necessary.

After completing Boot Camp, participants will have a clearer idea of the UK film industry, with a greater knowledge of the roles and opportunities on offer and they should be well placed to apply for the Screenskills trainee finder scheme.

Deadline: Monday 17 December
