| April 2 Recruitment Event - Final Chance to Apply to the "Made in NY" Production Crafts Training Program 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. | |
