Part of a raft of learning opportunities at ICC Sydney, the AV Graduate Program supports the next generation of technical professionals to access unparalleled vocational training and development opportunities.
As part of the year-long initiative, the graduates will gain exposure to a calendar of events, exhibitions and conventions, working across all areas of ICC Sydney’s leading AV and production services including audio, lighting, vision, rigging, staging and digital event solutions.
ICC Sydney CEO, Adam Mather-Brown said the unique program provides graduates with experience working in a world class venue with access to industry leaders and professionals.
“Brian Nash’s leadership of our Audio Visual Services Department has been instrumental in fostering a culture of innovation, constant improvement and technical excellence—and the outcomes of the AV Graduate Program are testament to this.
“Each year, selected candidates have the opportunity to grow their skills across a multitude of AV disciplines, experience working on an exciting calendar of diverse events, all while being mentored by our in-house AV experts,” Mather-Brown said.
ICC Sydney Director of Audio Visual Services, Brian Nash said that the AV Graduate Program had resulted in tangible benefits for event organiser clients, the candidates and the venue team with each iteration.
“For the graduates, the ICC Sydney AV Graduate Program is a proven pathway to gain invaluable experience working on complex and creative events—with the mentoring opportunities available to them being a significant benefit. Previously, we have progressed 100% of the graduates to casual and permanent roles at the venue.
“The AV Graduate Program also bolsters our support for client events, as we broaden the capability of our diverse, inclusive and multi-generational team,” Nash said.
The AV Graduate Program is one of a number of professional development programs offered by ICC Sydney including the First Nations Employment program, international Culinary Services Internship program, High Performance Program for senior team members and a range of specialised internal training courses.
