How it works
Creative Pathways™ works with a partnering production/studio to understand the needs of their film or television project (such as department openings, number of recruits they are looking for, qualifications, etc.).
Candidates are recruited by the Creative Pathways™ team. The production/studio selects a representative to review the shortlisted candidates.
The representative selects the candidates they wish to hire to work on set.
Hired candidates are welcomed by production/employer and union or guild who share responsibility for orientation, on the job training and mentorship.
Candidates work on set within the department they were selected for. Their work days are determined by the needs of the production. Creative Pathways™ checks in with the production and Setwork hires both during and after production to gather feedback on the experience.
Hired candidates offer feedback about their work experience through confidential surveys and anonymized reports are shared with production/employer and union or guild for continuous improvement and learning.
