If you're looking for a practical starting point, Story Builder: Sports Broadcasting is a free resource created in partnership with TNT Sports.

It supports careers education across the four UK nations, including Gatsby Benchmark 2.
Once you have used the resource in class, email us a photograph or scanned copy of your completed Story Builder: Sports Broadcasting packs and you'll be entered into a prize draw for the chance to win an in-person careers Q&A session at your school with a TNT Sports Broadcaster.

Online Training: Screen Careers Across the Curriculum
Screen careers are not confined to media, film studies or moving image arts. From English and art to business, science and technology, there are natural links across many subjects.
This free CPD session explores how screen industry careers can support wider curriculum conversations, helping you connect subject learning to real-world pathways. If you're based in England, it will help you to meet Gatsby Benchmark 4, linking curriculum learning to careers.

Students will hear directly from a selection of industry professionals, which might include locations managers, runners and camera operators, before completing a creative brief of their own.
Students should sign up by Saturday 6 June.

Date: Thursday 18 June, 10:00-11:00
In this live broadcast, professionals working in evolving roles will discuss how new developments, technology and AI are shaping their careers - and what that means for future entrants.
Students will gain a clearer understanding of routes, skills and next steps.
Book your class or group in to join the broadcast.
Video Games and Film
While attending the London Games Festival 2026, we heard how growth in games and screen content is creating converging career opportunities.
UK consumers spent £8.76bn on video games in 2025 - and around a quarter of films currently in production are based on video games.
For students interested in storytelling, animation, technology or production, the choice may no longer be 'film or games', but how to enter a more connected screen ecosystem.
