OBJECTIVE 1 - PREPARING NEW ENTRANTS FROM DIVERSE
BACKGROUNDS FOR WORK IN THE SCREEN INDUSTRY
Connected Access aims to expand access opportunities outside of
the regional Connected Campus programme to underrepresented
communities, with bespoke industry information sessions and experiences.
HOW IT WORKS
"
Outreach events with selected FE providers
and local communities
"
Engage underrepresented groups that the
Connected Campus network does not reach
"
Events to signpost educational and vocational
routes into the industry, with realistic
information about working in screen
"
Opportunities to meet those from the
industry and try entry-level tasks
This engagement is designed to encourage those who do not have
access to the industry through an educational setting or through the
networks to consider a role in the screen industries.
Examples include regional agencies partnering with local olm festivals,
community centres, charities, inclusion-based organisations, job
seekers, olm clubs, vocational students studying non-screen specioc
courses, SEN colleges and more.
