The screen industries offer a huge range of roles in film, TV, gaming, animation, VFX and more for young people to aspire to. At Into Film, we're proud to offer free resources, events and training opportunities to help educators and careers advisers/leaders, including members of the Career Development Institute (CDI), support young people with making informed decisions about careers in the screen industries.

We understand that it can be difficult keeping up with the latest up-to-date careers information and resources. That's why we're bringing you a monthly round-up of the best screen careers events and resources that you don't want to miss. Through our careers offer you can strengthen your careers programmes and develop your own understanding of this exciting industry (plus, for those in England, we can help you hit those Gatsby benchmarks!). This month includes bookings for the 2024 Into Film Festival going live, as well as virtual work experience opportunities.

If you're new to Into Film, all you need to access our free resources is an Into Film Account. Don't worry, it's completely free and only takes a moment to set up. Plus, you'll also gain access to hundreds of free curriculum-linked resources, further training opportunities, and with a Public Video Screening (PVS) Licence, hundreds of free films to stream safely and legally with Into Film+.
