ScreenSkills - Helping young people find a role in the VFX industry
ScreenSkills is the UK skills organisation for film, television, visual effects (VFX) animation and games. They work across the country to make sure that the screen industries have the skills and talent they need to thrive in the future, providing insight, career development and other opportunities to help grow and sustain a skilled and inclusive workforce.
The screen industries have experienced a period of rapid growth in recent years, with the increase in employment in the sector growing twice as fast as the general economy. Yet there remain significant skills shortages, and ScreenSkills does extensive research with employers to identify these.
A big part of ScreenSkills work is providing good quality careers information about roles in screen to young people in education - from primary to post graduate - so that they can consider working in the sector.
