We received a lot more applications for the Apprenticeship Training Program than there were spots. The lucky 13 participants arrived on Tuesday 16th October to Parramatta Riverside Theatre to begin their training on how to be a crew member for theatre, productions and events. Don Jones a highly experienced industry professional from Julius Media is trainer for the course and is keen to see how the participants will develop their skills in lighting, sound and multimedia set up and operation over the 30 weeks of the course. Stay tuned for further updates as this unique course unfolds!
