Screen Training Ireland re-launching ASSET Initiative
21 Jan 2015 : Seán Brosnan
Scheme will continue to support applicants working in digital production, as well as design skills for physical production
Screen Training Ireland is re-launching its ASSET initiative, and to mark Irish Design 2015, is broadening the fund to include specialist skills in design for physical production, including Art Department, Costume, and Make-Up.

ASSET (A Specialist Skills Enhancement and Training programme) is a flexible and bespoke training scheme led entirely by the individual participant. Candidates can apply for an individual training fund of up 70% of the cost of training, up to a maximum of €5,000, with which they can choose a range of training interventions in order to enhance their specialist skills.

This may include on-the-job training, overseas training, or mentoring. The fund may also be used for online training.

The 2014 initiative focused exclusively on Animation and VFX, resulting in support for nine applicants to strengthen their skills in key specialisms in the VFX/Animation/Games sectors. The scheme will continue to support applicants working in digital production, as well as design skills for physical production.

You can find out more about the ASSET initiative and download an application form on the Screen Training Ireland website: http://www.screentrainingireland.ie/resources/traineeships/asset-programme/.

Deadline for applications is Thursday 29th January 2015.

Another upcoming course that will be run by Screen Training Ireland is the Script Editing for Television Drama course. This course is aimed at professionals who wish to improve their television script editing skills and the tutor for the course –which will take place on Saturday, February 7th – is script consultant Philip Shelley. The deadline for applications for this one day event is Friday the 23rd of January 2015.

Another course – due to run on Friday, February 20th – is the Advanced Lighting course. This practical, hands-on course aims to upskill camera professionals in lighting techniques for drama and other genres – with Chief Lighting Technician Mo Flam serving as the tutor. The deadline for applications for this training event is Friday, January 30th.
