Chances for the big screen
SCREENWORKS in partnership with Netflix is calling for applications for their next ‘Regional Crew Pathways Program’.
The program is a two-step training program that includes an initial AFTRS ‘On Set On Boarding’ course followed by paid placements in early entry crew roles for six selected participants, including two from Far North Queensland, over six months.
There are up to 20 spaces available in the AFTRS ‘On Set On Boarding’ course and the six trainees will be selected from these participants to advance into the paid placements.
A Screenworks spokeswoman said the program provided training and screen industry career pathways for regional people and directly addressed below the line skill gaps in addition to building screen production capacity in regional areas.
“Screenworks and Netflix encourage applications from young people from diverse backgrounds who may not otherwise have the opportunity to access work opportunities,” she said.
“In particular, people with a qualification in screen and media, or from areas with complementary skill sets such as hospitality, fashion design, hair and makeup, accountancy, event management and carpentry.”
