The upcoming Games will encompass 26 sporting disciplines in 19 venues in and around the Glasgow area
of universities and colleges to create an education and training programme to provide a variety of live broadcast, creative and technology skills.
“The Host Broadcaster Training Initiative (HBTI) is a key legacy project of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games,” emphasises Foulser. “More than 600 Scotland-based creative sector students will receive training and work experience through the HBTI, which is being delivered by SVGTV in partnership with the Creative Loop Media Academy.” The HBTI is receiving substantial investment in equipment and expertise from SVGTV and its suppliers, with fi nancial support from the Scottish Funding Council, Skills Development Scotland and Creative Skillset. “The HBTI will see
participating students given real skills training in how to use the latest outside broadcast hardware equipment and technology, as well as real work experience in live broadcast creative production. The intention is that these students will reach suffi cient profi ciency through their pre- Games education to be deployed during the Games itself, providing an invaluable skills legacy for the broadcast and television production industry in Scotland beyond Glasgow 2014.” Foulser says that the programme is already up and running very successfully. “We are now expecting around 200 students — the initial target was 120 — to be selected to receive real work experience working on the broadcasting requirements of the Games itself.”
Long-term legacy That positive side of the training programme has been echoed by David Grevemberg, Glasgow 2014 chief executive. “Sunset + Vine and Global TV will showcase the twentieth Commonwealth Games to the world. In doing so, they will implement a training initiative that not only delivers great coverage of the Games, but makes an investment in Scotland’s media industry by creating opportunities for hundreds of students who will gain valuable skills and experience at a vital time in the beginning of their careers. Its positive impact promises to be felt for many years to come.”
Foulser concludes, “SVGTV will be drawing on our considerable joint experiences to bring viewers and listeners the very best coverage of these exciting games. We will meet
the requirement to produce a high quality level of production that matches — and exceeds — anything that’s gone before.”
