Screen Australia has taken the next steps with its below-the-line training initiatives, unveiling the recipients and host companies for BTL Next Step, the Production Crew Skills Training Fund, and the Transferable Skills and Returning Crew Training Fund, while also announcing $1.7 million of industry development funding across the programs.
Screen Australia has selected 14 recipients to undergo placements at 12 host companies as part of the next phase of its BTL: Next Step initiative.
Screen Australia will support three new placements as part of its BTL: Next Step initiative, as well as six programs/projects via its Skills Development Fund, with the recipients sharing $560,000 of industry development funding.
Remaining flexible and adapting to the needs of practitioners amid broader industry changes are among the chief concerns for Screen Australia when it comes to ongoing capacity building, industry development head Ken Crouch says.
