- Career Advancement Program – A series of pathway programs designed to support regional people who have been identified through Screenworks programs as demonstrating talent, potential and commitment, as well as being open to regional talent who may not have engaged with Screenworks previously.
- Project Advancement – A program to empower regional screen creators to develop authentic regional stories that are market savvy, through a mentored studio-style Creative Residency program – nurturing ideas and talent to broaden the representation of NSW communities in the Australian screen industry.
