SCOTTISH SCREEN NEW ENTRANTS TRAINING PROGRAMME - RECRUITMENT 2007
Scottish Screen and NETS are now in recruitment for a new upgraded training programme for those wishing to train in television and film at entry level.

The deadline for applications is 12noon on Friday 27 July 2007.
The NETS programme provides industry approved training in production, technical, craft and design areas. We recruit from across the UK, with well-established industry links and 100% success rate; we are the longest running on the job training programme in the UK.

We have two tiers to our new upgraded training programme:
* NETS One - this programme offers, full time, apprenticeship training for one year with eight places available. Each trainee will specialise in one of the following areas: production, art department, sound boom/operator, post production/IT, camera. During this time trainees will develop their skills, contacts and understanding to pursue a freelance career as assistants in the creative industries. In addition, trainees will gain skills in new technology relevant to developments in film and television.

* NETS Advance - this programme offers full time fast-track training for three months for more experienced, junior assistants and recently entered trainees, who need a final boost of additional skills to become work ready. Four places are available in the following areas: production, camera and costume. Advance trainees will gain these extra essential skills they need to be employable and compete in the industry for assistant work. They will take a fuller role than the NETS One trainees in identifying placements themselves and the key skills they need to acquire.

We are currently recruiting for NETS One and NETS Advance.
