Telefilm Canada and the CFTPA are collaborating on a new training program designed to teach the ins and outs of digital content creation.

The Telefilm New Media Producers’ Program, unveiled on Friday, will give new media producers the opportunity to develop their technical, administrative and creative skills. The program will feature one-on-one mentoring from CFTPA members.

‘In the digital era, it’s essential for producers to take advantage of the incredible opportunities presented by new innovations,’ commented CFTPA’s VP of business affairs Susanne Vaas.

‘Telefilm is delighted to work with one of our key stakeholders and partners to provide the training support needed for emerging new media producers,’ added Agnes Zak, Telefilm’s regional director for Ontario and Nunavut.

The deadline for applications is Nov. 2. Application forms are available on the CFTPA website.
