For people already in the industry - and people who want to be. No jargon. No need to have it all figured out. Just bring your questions.

Mission Accomplished is proud to deliver these roadshows as part of the Create Central Skills Accelerator Programme.

The West Midlands screen sector is growing — and Creative Content, Techniques and Technologies is one of the region’s priority growth clusters, creating real opportunities for local crew, freelancers and residents with existing transferable skills.

Productions including Peaky Blinders, MasterChef, The Hairdresser Mysteries, Great British Menu, Garden Rescues andSilent Witness  are produced in the region. Digbeth Loc studios is open for business and the BBC’s new Midlands headquarters at The Tea Factory in Digbeth is scheduled to open in 2027.

Create Central Skills Accelerator is delivered with the support of the BFI, awarding National Lottery funding, and match-funding from the West Midlands Combined Authority.
