Abstract

The notion of career ‘support’ is not clearly defined. For some, it may mean opportunities for upskilling and specific training. For others it may mean some form of mentoring or coaching. It could mean support in the development of career self-management skills. Whilst for others it may mean support in the form of career counselling. This paper sets out the purpose and principles of an intervention to improve the career support of people working within the television industry through the introduction of what we have called End-of-contract Interviews. By detailing the essential elements and rationale for this proposed new intervention, we offer a practical response to a crisis currently threatening the UK television industry: the haemorrhaging of talent by mid-career point.
