Mission Accomplished is excited to announce two NEW training opportunities for those passionate about Unscripted TV Development.

We are looking for 20 creative individuals brimming with ideas to join the Unscripted Development Researcher Training Programme. The delegates will be made up of new entrants, transferrers to the industry and those with some experience in entry level roles in unscripted TV with an interest in starting a career in development.

Alongside this, we are also delivering a brand-new Unscripted Development Assistant Producer Training Programme for 20 individuals, designed for those with demonstrable experience in unscripted TV development at Development AP or Development Researcher level. Whether you are a newly appointed Development AP looking to refine your skills or an experienced Development Researcher ready to step up, this programme will help you build confidence and take the next step in your career.

Both courses will include expert training and a 6-month paid placement, part-funded by the ScreenSkills Unscripted Skills Fund. We’re keen to hear from companies across all nations and regions of the UK who could facilitate placements. 

Are you interested in becoming an Unscripted Development Researcher?
Watch the Webinar hosted by the Mission Accomplished team ahead of applying for the Unscripted TV Development Researcher training programme to learn more about the role of a Development Researcher.

The Unscripted TV Development Researcher training programme is funded by the ScreenSkills Unscripted TV Skills Fund which invests in training for the unscripted workforce thanks to contributions from broadcasters, SVoDs and production companies.

Who it’s for ?
We are looking for those who not only want a career in unscripted, but who have a demonstrable interest in working in development specifically, as opposed to looking for a route into TV more broadly. Applicants to the programme must have at least 2 years of experience from other industries with transferable skills for TV development and not be in full time education.
