Screen Skills runs numerous schemes, which include courses and events that promote key careers as we can in terms of not just looking at traditional classroom training, but also experience of hands-on work. “We manage this by providing a subsidy to the production company, which we do a lot of. Actually, in HETV – the area I specifically look after – we have something called ‘Make a move’, which is here for any grade, post and edit included. It allows individuals in a company to step up in to a more senior role with some financial support. We find that this allows companies to unlock that risk, where they would like to try someone out in a higher position but haven’t the budget for it. We provide a bit of cash incentive and also oversee a training plan, whatever that might be – it could just be mentoring, it isn’t heavy handed.
