As our BFI Places/National Lottery and Cornwall Council-funded programme, Production-Ready Pathways, comes to a close, we’re reflecting on 18 months of supporting the next generation of scripted below-the-line talent across Cornwall.
As our BFI Places/National Lottery and Cornwall Council-funded programme comes to a close, we’re reflecting on 18 months of supporting the next generation of scripted below-the-line talent across Cornwall.
Designed to address regional skills gaps by equipping new entrants and early-career crew with the knowledge, confidence and professional networks needed to work in the screen industries, Production-Ready Pathways brought together training, mentoring and production placements to help freelancers build their CVs.
Across three cohorts, participants benefited from tailored mentoring, industry workshops, networking opportunities and practical career support, as well as peer learning, while building valuable connections with employers and productions across Cornwall and the South West. Specialist sustainability training was also included.
Programme impact:
• 37 individuals supported, plus 8 on sustainability training
• 34 industry placements
• 11 education & community partners
• 8 industry partners
Thank you to all of our participants, mentors, education partners, industry partners and employers who helped strengthen Cornwall’s screen sector and invest in its future workforce. The future is bright for the cohorts we have supported.
Funded by the National Lottery through the BFI Places Fund and Cornwall Council.
