Co-funded by ScreenSkills, Bradford Council and now Channel 4, this mentor network has recruited 75 local content creators and paired them with industry experts to enhance their careers. The project is based at The Unit, a free-to-use screen hub where those interested in careers in film, TV and digital can work, learn and share ideas.

We’re particularly proud of this unique mentoring project to encourage teenage girls into screen careers in an area of high deprivation, achieved thanks to the vision of its two head teachers.
