CU and surrounding areas! Shatterglass Studios is excited to announce that applications are now open for the Spring 2024 Film and TV Workforce Development Program, in partnership with the Illinois Film Office and the Illinois Department of Economic Development.
If you're unfamiliar, this is a TUITION-FREE, 8-week intensive workforce program designed to train individuals to be able to join the Illinois film and TV production industry. However, unlike the past 2 previous programs, this is a new program that will hone in on two specific area's within the film industry: SET CONSTRUCTION and GRIP/ELECTRIC. We are looking for individual students for EACH program. That means this program will double the amount of students needed and accepted.
However, we are also looking for skilled technicians per those two disciplines. That means it will be ideal to have *some* experience in either construction or electric of some kind. Each of these classes will be taught by experienced key professionals in each area and the intent is to build the local workforce of Set Construction and Grip/Electric workers in East Central Illinois.
You can apply now at the site below. The course is completely free but spots in each are limited. We are accepting applicants 18 years old and up, but looking for individuals who are looking to move into the workforce immediately. If you intend to go to school for a few more years, that likely will not be advantageous as this is a state-funded program intended to get people employed within the first 6-MONTHS of the final class.
You can apply here: https://forms.gle/H1ZkYz9uzhAd1Buq8
Please let us know if there are issues with accessing the form. And good luck!
