About

Screen NETS is an on the job training programme, focusing on new entrants and recently entered practitioners. They recruit from across Scotland for technical, production and design roles in scripted TV and film.

Screen NETS also delivers bespoke new entrant programmes for individual productions and can work closely with them to recruit and help select their own trainees for their chosen departments.

A positive action initiative, Talent Pathways, provides mentoring and career support for 6 individuals who are recently entered but still face barriers to progressing their career
