Enabling accredited performing arts production training opportunities across regional Victoria
Tech Connect addresses a chronic under-supply of industry-relevant training in regional Victoria by establishing four regional training hubs. Each hub will accommodate an estimated 200 regional production crew members over a 12-week period working with Art Centre Melbourne’s (ACM) highly-skilled technical staff. The final site of each hub will be established via a consultative process that forms part of this project.
Arts Centre Melbourne’s RTO Services deliver leading professional development and certified training, which is central to the industry’s ability to deliver the skill sets needed across performing arts venues. Tech Connect will ensure that regional venues across Victoria are able to meet the needs of venue hirers, local theatre companies and touring productions, and expand the range of cultural activities in their regions.
