| SGIL – CRIW – Wales based – 10 roles | Level 3 in Creative and Digital Media – Film and TV apprenticeships |
Want real experience working behind-the-scenes on TV and film productions? Ready to gain a Level 3 qualification in Creative and Digital Media AND to earn whilst you learn?
Sgil Cymru is thrilled to announce the launch of CRIW (Welsh for ‘Crew’), a game-changing Apprenticeship programme for 2021, open to those who are keen to work behind-the-scenes on exciting and major film and TV productions. Successful applicants will gain hands-on experience of roles on-set, right here in Wales.
This Apprenticeship programme has been created to reflect the dynamic, flexible nature of freelance work that is the heartbeat of the industry. Get ready to spend a year immersed in a variety of productions, meeting new people and working hard to complete new challenges, with a paid salary to support you as you learn. CRIW is your unique opportunity to develop the skills and gain the experience for a career in this industry.
A successful pilot scheme for CRIW ran in 2020 and saw Apprentices work on the set of hit Fox drama War of the Worlds, starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Gabriel Byrne. Read more on how Tom, Josh and Jake got on here: Life as an Apprentice.
Wales is already established as one of the world’s leading locations for TV and film production and 2021 is set to be the biggest year yet. Current and former Sgil Cymru apprentices have and are currently working on productions such as His Dark Materials, Peaky Blinders and Casualty to Doctor Who, Pobol Y Cwm and Fleabag.
Job Description
The CRIW Apprenticeship scheme is a brilliant way to come into the industry since it shows people how the sector really works, as the apprentices will be moving from production to production, dependent on shooting schedules.
The role offers opportunities to gain essential experience of the process of producing content and offers wide-ranging networking opportunities that are valuable within the Media sector.
The crew on a film or TV production is made up of a variety of different departments, and can be entirely staffed by freelancers who move from production to production. As a CRIW Apprentice, you’ll be working alongside freelancers and could be in any department, including:
Assistant Directors – ensuring good communication on set between departments, working with cast and supporting artists
Production Office – providing logistical support by organising travel/accommodation, generating and distributing paperwork
Locations – making sure the location or studio is ready to shoot and maintained throughout the shoot day, and new locations prepared
There may also be opportunities in other departments depending on production requirements. Either way, you’ll also be making tea/coffee, talking on the phone/radio and will most likely spend most of the day on your feet. You might find yourself working for a number of weeks on one production, and then just a few days on another – just like a freelancer.
The role may involve working long and unsociable hours. You don’t need prior experience of working in production, but you definitely need to be motivated, enthusiastic and hard working.
Covid-19 working protocols will be in place to adhere to, per production.
Requirements
• Aged 16+
• Be based in Wales
• Have a keen interest in working in roles behind-the-scenes of film and TV productions
• Able to commit to 12 months commencing Monday 22 February 2021
• Access to internet for off-site learning when required
• A clean driving licence.
Existing experience in the industry is not necessary.
A limited number of vacancies require fluent Welsh speakers.
Salary
£12,500 PA.

An apprenticeship is a job with a structured training programme to support the employee in their role.  Informer © Neal Street Productions Apprenticeships are jobs with a structured training programme that takes up 20 per cent of the employees time. They are about supporting people to become capable professionals, building personal development and adding real value to businesses. There are different levels of apprenticeship. They all have to last a minimum period of 12 months. Some involve study equivalent to that of an A-Level or Higher. Others involve study equivalent to a degree and can last for up to three years. Apprenticeships involve working with ‘apprenticeship standards’ – a set of knowledge, skills and behavioural standards, agreed by employers, that a person needs to be competent in a specific role. Employers who want to take on apprenticeships then create their own training programmes, designed around the standard, in collaboration with a dedicated training provider. How apprenticeships work: An actual job Employers offer a real job that needs doing in their organisation with the understanding that the employee is in training. This option can be for a new recruit or an existing member of staff Apprentices carry out their day-to-day job for about 80% of their paid time Apprentices learn the role through the experience that employers give them, picking up the knowledge, skills and behaviours from the apprenticeship standard that are needed to become competent in their profession Training At least 20% of paid time is spent in “off-the-job training”. Off-the-job training is time that apprentices spend away from their usual duties to develop their skills. Off-the-job training can take place at a college or training provider, or be delivered in the workplace Employers design a training programme with an external training provider, deciding how much training the employer will deliver and how much is delivered by the training provider Many employers say this percentage isn’t too dissimilar from the informal training regular employees need to get up-to-speed End-Point Assessment (EPA) At the end of an apprenticeship, an apprentice is independently assessed to check they have built the knowledge, skills and behaviours defined in the apprenticeship standard There is no obligation for an employer to offer a permanent job on completion of an apprenticeship. However, if an employer has invested in training someone to a professional standard, they are likely to want to keep them on Who can do an apprenticeship?
