FOR TEACHERS & CAREERS LEADERS
Information and guidance for careers leads, teachers, and other professionals, to help you steer the right young people to study at BOA Stage and Screen Production Academy.
Finding the right learners
We aim to open doors to real careers for young people with a passion for the arts and creativity. For example they may be showing an interest in:
Art
Fashion
Technology
Music
Design Tech
Theatre
Lighting & Sound
Media
Journalism
Film
TV
Social Media
Content Creation
Festivals and Events
Creative Writing
Photography
Videos
Hair & Make-up
Costume
Textiles
Fashion
We understand that most young people will not be aware of the many job-roles or career opportunities in the stage and screen industries, and they may have no prior knowledge, skills or experience. So we have put together some resources on this page to help.
