Through this, we have led the creation of two flexi-apprenticeship pilot programmes funded by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Department for Education (DfE), delivered in partnership with Netflix, Warner Bros. Discovery, Prime Video, Sky, Fremantle, Banijay UK and Lime Pictures.
The programmes aim to address critical skills gaps, explore the viability of apprenticeships within areas of production that typically work with freelancers and to provide a vocational entry route into the screen industry.
