Screen Yorkshire is launching a new recruitment drive for its pioneering skills programme Beyond Brontës today. The free, part-time, training initiative was established in 2019 to support young people from a diverse range of backgrounds and circumstances to overcome obstacles that may have prevented them from entering the screen industries.

The Beyond Brontës programme offers successful applicants with a passion for film and TV a bespoke training package to prepare for a wide range of industry job roles; from make-up and set design to accountancy, editing or research.

Beyond Brontës has won the support of the local film and TV industry, including Yorkshire Based TV Presenter Amar Latif, Meridian Line Films co-founder Necressa Swan and BAFTA Award winning director Jordan Hogg.

Developing talent to foster a skilled and diverse workforce is a central part of Screen Yorkshire’s growth strategy and Beyond Brontës is part of package of regional initiatives designed to help secure continued growth in film & TV production levels.  

Screen Yorkshire is working in partnership with the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council to deliver Beyond Brontës with the support of Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (the LEP).

Applications are open to young people aged 18 – 24 years old in the Leeds City Region area, which includes: Bradford, Leeds, Wakefield, Kirklees, Calderdale, Selby, Craven, Harrogate and Barnsley.
