River City Training Academy

The scheme is the first of its kind for Scotland, offering training and development opportunities for both external and internal talent across two years.

About

In August 2023, BBC Studios Continuing Drama launched a brand new training academy for the multi-award winning Scottish drama series River City

The scheme, which has been created in partnership with Screen Scotland, is the first of its kind for Scotland, offering training and development opportunities for both external and internal talent across two years. The initiative is part of BBC Studios’ commitment to find, develop and retain the best talent both on and off screen.

Participants will be given access to classes and workshops, while a filming unit – made up of River City’s technical crew and actors - will work in a no-pressure environment to teach the trainees. Beyond the initial training, on-set opportunities will be offered within their new roles.
