• Good with numbers, physically fit and good at learning in both classroom and on-site environments?

Do you:

This training scheme is designed to develop the skill sets of school age technicians that will assist you to gain part time employment in the entertainment industry. It will provide both theory and practical training and entertainment technology experiences. As well as opportunities for school age technicians from the 11 different schools to interact and understand the technical offerings at other schools and environments.

There will be two separate streams, years 9-10 and years 11-13. Each group will meet once a month for approximately 3 hours. Often the meetings will be held on weekends or evenings (not during school time) but will adjust to the events that are on at Baycourt throughout the training programme.  Approximately 50% of the meetings will be held at Baycourt with the others being off site at other venues or schools.
