Post Production Futures

Are you able to host a 10-week Post Production internship - with 50% wage funding? 

Post Production Futures is a new programme from LIFT and Capital City College Group’s Creative Skills Hub, for talented creatives who are ready to take their next steps into work and the world of Post Production. The programme will include a 4-week, full-time training course to help enhance skills required for a Runner or Production Assistant role, followed by 10-week paid (London Living Wage) internships with local employers. 

The programme has been developed to provide practical work experience and skills training supported by industry professionals, where they will work to learn core industry skills to get started on their career. After completing the training programme participants will gain access to interviews for a number of internships within local businesses.  

The programme will provide mentoring and support throughout the course and into the internship journey for those who are successful in gaining a 10-week industry placement. 

March 2025: Intensive four-week full-time course to prepare people for an entry-level role in Post Production (Customer service, organising, scheduling, intro to editing and grading suites), working to industry standard briefs and to build employability and soft skills.
