National Careers Week (3-8 March 2025) is an annual celebration of careers guidance and free resources in education across the UK. Its aim is to provide a focus for careers guidance activity at an important stage in the academic calendar to help support young people to develop awareness and excitement about their future pathways.
An integral part of our careers programme, National Careers Week offers a chance for educators to get up to speed on the many varied career paths available in the screen industries, and allows young people the opportunity to discover a wealth of exciting careers and unexpected roles that they may wish to pursue. The theme for this year's National Careers Week is You Can, which emphasises that careers in the screen industry are accessible to all young people, regardless of their passions or skillsets. It also emphasises the importance of shining a light on the many varied career paths - if they can see it, they can be it.
