Research and Impact - Screen Careers

We offer comprehensive information, guidance and support on careers in the screen industries for 11-18 year-olds.

This includes our Careers and Progression programme - supported by the British Film Institute (BFI) awarding National Lottery good cause funding - which provides Continuing Professional Development (CPD), classroom resources and online content for careers professionals, educators and young people.

We act as a bridge between the film industry and education sector, delivering large-scale audience development programmes and informing and inspiring young people about careers in the industry.

To help young people pursue a career in the screen industries, we run a number of schemes to give them a greater understanding of what's involved and better connect them to the industry. One of these programmes is ScreenWorks.

Our screen careers programme also offers work experience and mentoring opportunities through our ScreenWorks and Trailblaze programmes in Northern Ireland, funded by our regional partner Northern Ireland Screen.

Louise Sedgewick is an Into Film Education Ambassador, and an English and media teacher of 11-18-year-olds at St Margaret's Academy in Livingston. Recently, she outlined to us why she believes encouraging young people into screen careers is so important, and tells us about the film career she always wanted.
