March 22, 2010 - The “Made in NY” Production Crafts Training Program
aims to help women, minority and struggling New Yorkers prepare for advanced
careers in film and television production. The first class will focus on
training individuals in the grip department. Future classes will provide
training for other departments such as camera and electric.
Interested
applicants who were not able to attend the March 19 recruitment event should
attend the final information session on Friday, April 2 at 1pm at
Brooklyn Workforce Innovations, 621 DeGraw Street (between 3rd and 4th
Avenues), Brooklyn.
Participants of the pilot “Made
in NY” Production Crafts Training Program this spring will be taught
technical skills by members of the International Alliance of Theatrical &
Stage Employees and taught production basics and job readiness skills. Guest
instructors will teach other skills such as rigging and dolly operation in the
grip department. All participating trainees will be provided with a year of job
placement assistance.
Ideal candidates are individuals who have shown
their commitment to working in TV and film production for at least one year, as
well as display an active interest for the grip department, but who now lack the
opportunity to enter and advance in union positions.
If you wish to
apply for the program, you are required to attend the April 2 recruitment event,
where you can apply on site for the program.
For more information,
contact Brooklyn Workforce Innovations, 718-237-2017 ext. 166, or via email at
filmcraft@bwiny.org.
