They will develop, build and maintain relationships with current participants and HETV Skills funded alumni supported across all HETV programmes. They will also track regional participants from all HETV programmes to see how their training has helped them to either enter or step up and move forward in their careers and signpost ScreenSkills HETV alumni to relevant training which could help them progress in their careers.
