The US streaming giant said the ScreenCraft Pathway programme has been developed in partnership with the Gauteng Film Commission and the KwaZulu-Natal Tourism and Film Authority. It will be administered by Tshikululu Social Investments with applications opening in August.
"The ScreenCraft Pathway programme is designed to offer emerging creative professionals in South Africa a paid, immersive and hands-on experience through a variety of Netflix production partners. Thirty rising stars will be selected to gain this valuable experience in key below-the-line roles across development, pre-production, production and post-production.
"This new programme builds on lessons from Netflix's 2024 on-the-job training pilot initiative which supported 13 candidates from the Netflix Creative Equity Scholarship Fund," the company said in a statement on Thursday.
