The screen industries need to train talent. While the post production sector has its thoroughgoing runners training system, many arrive having invested for three years, or more, in a degree course. And as with other disciplines, when it comes to teaching students about the world of audio post-production, some courses are more equal than others. Addressing the disconnect between college teaching and the needs of industry can pay dividends for new talent and the industry alike.
New talent is needed across the TV and Film industry. ScreenSkills has estimated that an additional 15 to 20,000 crew will be needed by 2025.
Despite the rigorous training needed to succeed in sound post-production, and the more precarious freelance nature of much of the work, audio is one of the most popular choices for those entering the world of post.
While almost all enter the business as runners, many already have media degrees and some hold MAs. But not all qualifications

are the same and many in the industry feel that colleges aren’t sufficiently workplace- focused, especially when post houses have their own on-the-job training and are proud to grow their own for the industry.
The ScreenSkills Select initiative, where it promotes educational courses with industry endorsement, has gone some way towards encouraging and supporting colleges to work more closely with industry. But there is still sometimes a disconnect between what students learn at college and what they need in the workplace.
