UK - Production Futures, the organisation founded to create opportunities for young people to learn, train, network and develop real careers in every sector of the production industries, has announced a collaboration with the Institute of Sound, Communications and Visual Engineers (ISCVE). The aim of the partnership is to strengthen industry links and provide clear pathways for newcomers in the sound, communication and visual engineering sectors.
As part of the ISCVE Early Careers Committee’s commitment to supporting the next generation of professionals, the collaboration will help to further bridge the gap between education and industry, offering links to ISCVE’s range of free and paid training programmes via the Production Futures platform, giving education partners and newcomers access to essential learning tools.
Jason Williams, early careers chairman at ISCVE comments: “ISCVE is excited to be joining forces with Production Futures to help build a network that supports individuals at the start of their careers and throughout their professional journeys. Our shared aim is to ensure that emerging talent in the sound, communications and visual engineering sector has the support and resources necessary to flourish.
“We’re also proud to be sponsoring the Audio Newcomer and AV Newcomer categories at the Production Futures Breakthrough Talent Awards for 2024, as we firmly believe that recognising outstanding emerging talent is crucial to the growth and success of the industry.”
Hannah Eakins of Production Futures adds: “This is another significant collaboration which will help to increase access and support to the production industries for young people. A positive example of this is that ISCVE will become our exclusive signposting partner for ECS AV Engineer and Sound Engineer cards, which are an essential credential for those working within this sector, demonstrating a recognised standard of competence and safety.
“This latest alliance sees us continue to bring together a network of dynamic organisations with the common aim of securing a bright future for the production industries through supporting emerging talent. ISCVE’s sponsorship of two of our Breakthrough Awards is a fantastic illustration of its strong commitment to our shared ambition.”
