Download our new Careers Guide for Parents and Carers

Our usual audience when it comes to promoting the use of film in the classroom, filmmaking opportunities and screen industry careers advice is educators. However, particularly when it comes to careers, we believe that parents, carers and other guardians can also play a key role in informing, inspiring and encouraging passionate young people to pursue exciting careers in the screen industries. 

That's why we've created a brand-new guide to careers in the screen industries, created specifically for parents and carers. Do you know a young person with their sights set on working in this exciting sector? Or perhaps you know a young person who is interested, but doesn't know where to begin? Or maybe this is all new to you, and you're wondering if a career in the screen industries could be the right fit for a person you know? 

Whatever your level of knowledge, our new Parent and Carer Guide to Careers in the Screen Industries provides valuable insights into the sector and offers practical advice on how to support and encourage a young person's career journey. Download this free guide below.

For instance, did you know? The screen industries aren't just for creatives; there are plenty of non creative jobs in the screen industries too. Whatever a young person's passion or skillset, there is a role in the screen industries that they can turn their hand to. Whether a young person prefers to use practical, technical or STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) skills, or they're adept at English, or a whiz at maths, there are countless opportunities for every young person to explore in this dynamic industry.

This guide will help you to:

• Learn the basics around careers in the screen industries
• Discover where to find out more about screen industry opportunities
• Feel more confident about supporting your young person in exploring a screen industry career.

The UK screen industries are world-renowned, adding huge value to the UK's economy, with opportunities across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and roles to suit all skills and interests. The UK film sector alone employs around 200,000 people and is worth £1.36 billion, with the potential to grow even further. The UK video games sector is valued at over £7 billion, with almost 50,000 employees. 

All of which is great news for any young person considering a career in these sectors. Film is at the heart of what we do at Into Film, but the information we provide about careers also encompasses the wider screen industries - film, television, VFX (visual effects), animation and games. We work to raise awareness of the huge variety of roles that bring screen entertainment to life, focusing on 11-18-year-olds and the people who support them - be they educators, parents/carers, or youth workers.
