In the world of television and film, the production equipment used in studios and on location is nearly always hired from specialist kit hire companies. These companies offer a vast array of camera, lighting and audio equipment along with outside broadcast facilities. In Scotland, kit hire is a vital link in ensuring that local and visiting producers making any kind of content can use the most up to date and highest quality equipment in their productions from local suppliers.
The KitWorks Placement Programme will deliver a paid, one year training opportunity for four participants and will be based in Glasgow. It will be hosted by four of Scotland’s leading kit suppliers and aims to address skills shortages and importantly widen access to under-represented groups in the TV and film industry here in Scotland. It aims to create a sustainable and repeatable talent pipeline through structured placements and training.
This info session is a great way to find out more about what the placement entails what it can do for your career and is a chance to ask your questions to the NFTS team and representatives from the kit hire companies that will be offering placements.
The KitWorks Placement Programme is supported by Screen Scotland, and is delivered by NFTS Scotland in partnership with MBS Equipment, Media Dog Hire, Progressive Broadcast Hire, and QTV.
Once you have booked your place, you will receive details of how to join the event.
