The Introduction to the Screen Industry micro-credential and skill standards are designed as a short block of learning to prepare people for a career in the screen industry. It aims to provide learners with knowledge and insights about the diversity of roles in screen production, and the nature of working in the screen sector.
The development of this new micro-credential was driven by industry and provides an opportunity for those wanting to gain employment in below-the-line roles to learn about the industry and the roles and skills required.
This development is just the first step in meeting screen-sector needs. Further qualifications and standards that will focus on more specific areas of below-the-line roles in screen are currently being developed. This entry-level micro-credential will act as prerequisite knowledge for higher-level, skill-focused standards.
Learners will gain the 15-credit micro-credential by completing three new proposed skill standards developed by workforce development councils Toi Mai and Ringa Hora:
It is intended that delivery of this micro-credential will be in partnership with industry and include guest speakers and practical experience with real equipment.
The Introduction to the Screen Industry micro-credential and three skill standards have now been approved by NZQA.
