Film and TV apprenticeships: working in the production office

Are you considering applying to the ScreenSkills Film and TV apprenticeship programme? Thinking about a career in the production office?

If you would like to know more about how a film and TV  production office operates and what it is like to work there, we're hosting an online event to help you out.

By the end of the event attendees will have a good understanding of:

• What the production office does

• What work is expected of an apprentice
• What skills an apprentice needs to have
• How the apprenticeship programme works
