FEATURE FILM INDUSTRY TRAINING PROGRAM
To this end, the State of Connecticut, through the Office for Workforce Competitiveness
(OWC) is requesting proposals from qualified public or private educational institution(s),
organization(s), and/or individual(s) to administer and conduct a Feature Film Industry
Training Program (FITP) for Connecticut residents. The program is designed to attract as
trainees those individuals and students who seek entry-level freelance work on feature
motion pictures, desire a career in this industry, and have the intention of making
application for appropriate union membership in their chosen professional field. It is
important to note, however, that participation in the FITP will not assure trainees union
membership. Each union local may have specific application, examination, and acceptance
regulations. For each chosen field, other professional requirements and state licensing
may apply, and further training and/or further experience may also be necessary.
