Good afternoon,
I hope this finds you well. I’m
writing to tell you about an exciting opportunity for your recent graduates
interested in television production.
We are launching a new initiative
called BTN N.O.W. (Network Operations Workshop) for recent Big Ten
graduates with an interest in behind-the-scenes
television production to help build the next generation of technical TV
professionals. The 10-week training program, which will begin in June, will
provide the selected participants with hands-on training while working
alongside some of the industry’s leading professionals.
Applicants must be recent Big Ten
graduates (within 2 years) and have previous television production experience
either via BTN Student U or local commercial or on-campus TV stations. Training
will be conducted for positions including technical director, audio director,
camera operator, graphics editor and Dyno/EVS technician. Housing and a
weekly stipend will be provided, and the program will run between 30 and 40
hours a week.
We would like your help in
spreading the word to your networks to identify the best, most enthusiastic and
talented participants. Feel free to share with others who you believe could be
helpful. I’ve also attached a one-sheet that explains the program that
could be posted on relevant bulletin boards.
Applicants should submit a resume
and cover letter to BTNHR@BTN.com
no later than Wednesday, March 12. Questions can be sent to that email
address as well.
Thanks so much for your help. We
are looking forward to launching the workshop in June.
Best,
Elizabeth
