Program Announcement
Douglas College
Stagecraft & Event
Technology program
announces its new
work experience
program. Students
will work 60 hours
any time that is
suitable for
employer and student
between Jan 4 and
April 23, 2010 (with
the exception of
March 5th until
April 4th for
College
productions).
Students must be
supervised by an
experienced mentor.
Unfortunately they
are not available to
be self-directed
crew. The object of
the placement is for
them to gain
experience in an
area of their
interest in a
professional setting
while building their
network.
These fourth term
students have taken
construction, stage
management, scenic
painting, props,
audio, hand and CAD
drafting (Vectorworks),
and lighting. They
have also
participated in at
least 3 college
productions
including as a crew
chief. They have
achieved success in
the classroom and
shown strong work
ethic on our
productions.
We ask employers to
write a short job
posting including a
description of the
job, approximate
dates and hours,
name of company and
supervisor, and
contact information
(form available).
Students will then
apply for jobs that
match their
interests and
locations that are
convenient for them.
At the end of the
work experience,
employers will be
asked to evaluate
the students using
forms available on
our website.
The students will be
unpaid volunteers
but would be
appreciative of an
honorarium to help
cover transport and
meals.
If you would like to
submit a posting or
need more
information please
