When would I start?
The Traineeship will commence on 5th January 2021 and potentially run until August 2021.
In addition to roles offered through the annual Outlander Training Programme, they will also be running Outlander Tasters, which will provide paid work placements aimed at giving people their first break in the industry.
Outlander Tasters are aimed at creating opportunities for people who might not have previously thought they could have a career in TV and/or Film, whether because of a lack of experience, opportunity or resources.
They will be offering a number of paid learning experiences to bring new and diverse talent into our industry.
This is an opportunity for people to see the range of skills and job opportunities in film and television.
You don’t have to have any track record and they may be able to provide assistance with transportation and living expenses if they are an obstacle to you applying, so don’t let that deter you.
What they're looking for is people with the "right attitude and the determination" to succeed.
