Screen Yorkshire has launched the next round of Beyond Brontës: The Mayor’s Screen Diversity Programme.
The initiative is running across West Yorkshire, to support diverse communities in accessing creative careers. To date it’s supported more than 250 trainees, since it was established in 2019.
“Making the industry more accessible is a key goal of ours,” said Karen Roch, Skills Manager at Screen Yorkshire.
“We want the screen industries to be full of diverse and talented individuals from all walks of life and all corners of West Yorkshire.
“Beyond Brontës is a fantastic programme which has broken down barriers to entry and enabled many people from our region to work on very high profile film and TV productions such as Bridgerton, The Witcher, Gentleman Jack and Mission Impossible 7. We are delighted to continue to deliver such a practical and empowering programme.”
The 6-week training programme has been set up to build confidence and provide skills to prepare people for a career in the industry.
Delivered by Screen Yorkshire, Beyond Brontës is a Skills Connect course, funded by the Mayor of West Yorkshire and the West Yorkshire Combined Authority.
