NISCA Spring Conference Success
We were delighted to speak to careers professionals from across Northern Ireland at NISCA's Spring Conference - a key event for careers teachers and advisers across Northern Ireland, attended by over 200 professionals along with representatives from Career Development Institute (CDI), Education Authority (EA), and Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI).
Our session explored the breadth of opportunities within the screen industries, sharing our screen careers offer, and showcased the impact of our successful ScreenWorks programme in supporting young people across Northern Ireland.
Upcoming Event: Come and Say Hello!
We'll be out and about this month - and we'd love to meet you!
Come and chat to us about screen careers at the CDI National Careers Leaders Conference in London on Wednesday 18 June. Whether you're new to Into Film or already using our resources, we're always keen to connect and hear how we can further support your work.
Connecting at the Unifrog Conference
A big thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand at the Unifrog Teacher and Adviser Conference in London this May.
It was a pleasure to chat with so many of you about how Into Film can support your careers guidance, and to hear how you're helping students explore opportunities in the screen industries.
Discover! Creative Careers Month
Coming later this year, we're delighted to share that Discover! Creative Careers Week is expanding to become Discover! Creative Careers Month, taking place throughout November 2025. This exciting development means even more opportunities for young people in England to gain insight into the broad range of roles within the creative industries.
We look forward to seeing Discover! Creative Careers expand its celebration of creative industry careers to other UK nations in the future.
To coincide with the expanded Discover! Creative Careers programme in England, we'll be offering a series of screen careers events during the Into Film Festival in November, which welcomes audiences of nearly half a million learners and their educators to a programme of free cinema screenings and special careers events that takes place all across the UK.
