Businesses urged to take advantage of free filming opportunity

"The Future Careers Films are a brilliant toolkit for businesses wanting to recruit and we’d encourage all Warwickshire businesses to take advantage of this offer."

The Warwickshire Skills Hub team is urging businesses to take advantage of a fully-funded recruitment toolkit available to help them recruit.

The Future Careers Filming Programme has supported over 40 businesses to create digital showreels of their careers and apprenticeship opportunities.

The programme was created to produce short films designed to tell the story of the businesses and the careers they offer. This fully-funded opportunity gives businesses a platform to really shout about the opportunities they have and then the Warwickshire Skills Hub team work to help maximise the exposure and visibility of the final pieces.

The films are shared across the Skills Hub's social media platforms while links are shared with schools to enable the films to be utilised in careers activity. Warwickshire employability programmes also incorporate the films in employability workshops and job clubs,

Coming very soon will be a dedicated “Fair Chance Jobs portal” which will provide additional exposure to the films. This will also support live job opportunities on a platform to be shared across, and made accessible to, Warwickshire Communities looking for work.

To view some films and examples of Warwickshire organisations to have benefited from the programme so far, please visit https://skillshub.warwickshire.gov.uk/homepage/14/future-job-opportunities Organisations include BMW, Shipston Lodge Nursing Home, Telent, Storm Geomatrics, Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service, OX Deliveries, Warwickshire Police, Fanuc, Nabcel, Coventry College, Heart of England Training, Intec, Manufacturing Technology Centre, MTI, North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College and Warwickshire College Group
