Foundry celebrated supporting over 900 mentees to VFX industry mentors as part of its two-year collaboration with the ACCESS:VFX mentorship programme for young people in the creative industries. ACCESS:VFX is a global non-profit organisation focused on driving inclusion and diversity in the visual effects, animation and games industries. Since it was set up in 2019, their e-mentoring program partnered over 900 new talents in the creative industries aged 13 to 65 with supportive VFX industry mentors. The program has a global reach matching mentors and mentees in The UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The program had expanded ninefold from a mere 100 mentees in 2019, has engaged mentees from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures, and continues to broaden inclusivity in the industry.
The program supports getting these mentees in a vast range of roles across VFX, animation, and games, with the top desired roles being 3D animator (32% of mentees), 2D animator (19% of mentees), compositor (16% of mentees), VFX artist (15% of mentees) and character animator (14% of mentees).
