CINE – Creative Industries New Entrants
The Creative Industries New Entrants programme (CINE) is an initiative which is broadening access to the screen and creative industries at entry level. Funded by the Department for Communities and working in partnership with BBC Northern Ireland, the scheme has helped identify new talent. In line with UK-wide screen industry initiatives applicants from underrepresented ethnic minority, socio-economic, and disabled communities were prioritised, to expand our growing creative industries sector and create a more diverse generation of ‘New Entrants’ of all ages.
CINE participants received formal training covering necessary skills relevant to the role they are recruited in. For example, production techniques, idea generation, technical skills, communication skills and teamwork etc. They have been given the opportunity to put these skills into practice in paid 12-18 month industry placements. Training plans and a mentor were provided to support the participants during their placements. At the end of their time on CINE, participants should be well equipped for a freelance career within Northern Ireland creative industries.
