History
The "Made in NY" Production Assistant Training Program was launched in February 2006 and grew out of a desire to train courteous production assistants to interact with the local community on set while at the same time providing opportunities for diverse New Yorkers to gain entry into the production industry. A working group comprised of the following entities helped to make the program possible: 40 Acres and a Mule; Brooklyn Workforce Innovations; NYC Department of Small Business Services; NYC Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting; and NYC TV.
