ScreenSkills SkillUp Mentoring Programme delivered by TripleC DANC

(applications Are Now Closed)

About The Programme

This programme is supported by ScreenSkills as part of the BFI Future Film Skills programme using funds from the National Lottery. ScreenSkills is the industry-led skills body for the UK’s screen industries.

An easy read version of this information is available here. A BSL version is available if video is not visible on this page here.

Who is the programme for?

Deaf, disabled or neurodivergent writers and directors can apply. You must be either currently working in the film and TV industry; or working in theatre or community arts and looking to use your transferable skills to break into film and TV.

Mentors will be screenwriters, directors, script editors or development producers; and a mix of disabled and non-disabled people. 

What will I get out of it? 

Benefits of mentoring include:

  • Seeing things from another’s perspective
  • Increasing your network
  • Giving and receiving feedback
  • Developing communication skills
  • Learning from the ideas and experiences of someone who is different to you
  • Using your creativity
  • Boosting your job satisfaction
  • A deeper appreciation of diversity and inclusivity
  • Support with career progression

What is the commitment?

Our first group of mentees will be matched with their mentors in September 2021 and our second group will be matched in November. You will arrange with your mentor to meet for six 1-hour (online) mentoring sessions before the end of May 2022. You will also be expected to participate in online group sessions with the other mentees at the start, middle and end of the programme. 

All meetings will take place online over Zoom. There is a budget to meet your access requirements.

ScreenSkills will require you to create a ScreenSkills profile online and to complete their brief online mentoring training course. TripleC can support you to do this.
