About
The Forge Entertainment Training Scheme, presented in collaboration with Screen Scotland, is designed for individuals seeking to transition into the realm of Scripted Drama. Candidates with backgrounds in Unscripted TV, Kids TV, Advertising and Commercial Production, Theatre, and/or Live Events, or similar are welcome to apply.
Throughout this opportunity, you'll immerse yourself in on-the-job training, learning alongside your supervisor and team members. Additionally, you'll have access to external training courses tailored to the industry and your specific department.
Applications are encouraged from individuals traditionally underrepresented in the industry or those who have encountered barriers to entry. At The Forge and Screen Scotland, we’re committed to equal opportunities, promoting diversity and inclusivity within the Film and TV sector, and creating a workforce that reflects the diversity of the UK.
This paid traineeship will be based in the central belt of Scotland. The traineeship is full time and is currently scheduled to finish in November.
Applicants must have prior experience in a relevant field (e.g., Unscripted TV, Advertising and Commercial productions, Theatre, Live Events ect) and must be based in Scotland.
