Unpacking the Credits
The credits are rolling, there are so many jobs with strange titles. What are they and who does them?
There are so many roles across the creative industries, but many young people are just not aware of them.
Not only is this a missed opportunity for young people to get a fulfilling job but also for the creative industries who are missing out on talent. Unpacking the Credits is about to change that.
The Mayor of London has partnered with industry leaders from theatre, visual effects, art and design, music, publishing and architecture. Together they have produced six short films with education and web resources tailored for young people.

Many young Londoners feel excluded from creative industry jobs. In particular, Black, Asian and minority ethnic individuals, or those who come from less wealthy backgrounds. Many don’t know what kind of jobs there are, or what skills you need to do them.
We want more young Londoners to consider a career in the sector. We want to shine a light on people from diverse backgrounds who already work in the industry, at all levels.
We have worked with industry partners to produce high-profile films and educational resources on different creative jobs. Our target audience is young people, aged 11-15, and their parents, carers, guardians, teachers, careers advisers, and youth workers.
