Thanks Adam Ferrier for sharing this. The Experience Advocacy Taskforce needs more high-profile people like you raising awareness that ageism is an industry issue. Did you know: · 5% of media industry employees are over age 50, that’s nearly 7.4 x lower than the Australian workforce average · The average age in the media industry is 32 years, compared to 39 years in the Australian workforce ·   Only 18.5% of our media workforce is over 40 years vs the Aust workforce at 62%. #ageism #experiencematters

It is crucial to create a comprehensive roadmap for film school graduates. Schwartz highlights the importance of combining artistic and academic knowledge with practical skills that graduates will need upon entering the industry. This approach ensures that students leave film school equipped not only with a theoretical understanding of filmmaking practice, but also with the real-world expertise necessary for their future careers to flourish. 

Firstly a big well done to everyone getting results yesterday whether A levels, T levels or other quals. Whatever the grades kids have been working hard, and in challenging circumstances, and deserve that well done. If you've got someone at home or you know someone who didn't get the grades they'd hoped for - or maybe did better than expected and now has other options open to them - it's well worth a listen back to the Inspira interview on Radio Cumbria this morning at about 8.15am. https://lnkd.in/eDCsKq44 Some really good advice and I know from family as well as professional experience how helpful Mark Bowman's team are. I'd also reinforce what was said in the interview about apprenticeships as an option - I know of a number of people who either through proactive choice or following an issue with grades chose an apprenticeship over uni - by the time their friends had finished uni they'd finished their apprenticeship, got great quals, were on a good wage, had been promoted, had no debt and had managed to leap frog where their friends! One last tip, obviously not everyone is this lucky, but I do know one student who missed his grades, didn't check on UCAS straightaway and only discovered after some hours that his uni of choice had changed his offer to an unconditional the day before - so do check! And do remind them that whether they did well or not, any set of grades is only a stepping stone and they can still change the path from here - for better or worse.

Spent the snow day at the Warner Bros. Discovery Publicity Webinar! Such an insightful session where I learned a lot about what goes into one of the most important aspects of filmmaking - publicity! #publicity #filmmaking #warnerbros #warnerbrosdiscovery #filmindustry #filminternship #internshipopportunity #internshipjourney #internship2024 #barbiemovie #WBDVIEW24

Documentaries are a powerful tool for students' career planning! 📚🔍 They provide real-world exposure, showcasing different professions and industries, and helping students make informed decisions about their future paths. Documentaries inspire and motivate students, sharing stories of remarkable success and perseverance. They also expose students to diverse fields, expanding their horizons and introducing them to lesser-known career options. Documentaries keep students updated on industry trends, equipping them with knowledge of the latest developments and skills in demand. Moreover, these films offer insights from industry experts, providing valuable advice for students' career journeys. Embrace the world of documentaries and unlock a world of possibilities! 🌟🚀 Must Watch- Working: What We Do All Day from #DocumentariesForFutureCareers #CareerPlanning #Inspiration #careers #careercounselling #students #planning #future #career
