In our second Scottish event, we explored and showcased the progress and the plans that have been made to develop new talent for the sports broadcasting industry in Scotland. This event was produced in cooperation with QTV.
You can watch recordings of the event below.
Over the last 12 months a lot had happened in the Scottish sports broadcasting landscape, with key people working together to create a three-pronged attack to help solve the ongoing skills crisis. We look at what has happened, from tackling the issue of awareness at grassroots level in schools, to enhancing training opportunities in further education and via apprenticeships, to providing the skills needed to people already in the industry.
QTV has teamed up with the BBC’s Studio Works to create a new training course with National Film and Television Scotland (NFTS) that will bring live sports and studio production skills to people already working in the TV industry. Ahead of the scheme’s launch, we discuss how it will work and what it aims to do for sports broadcasting in the region.
SVG Europe Women, in partnership with QTV, NEP and Aurora Media Worldwide, has created a series of educational videos that reveal the jobs Behind the Lens in sports broadcasting. We are proud to give our guests an exclusive preview of the first of these exciting resources.
