Henry Ford Community College is offering a 40-hour, two week course on film set training starting Sept. 22.
Excerpt:
“One big need for the film industry in Michigan is a trained workforce,” said West. “This program will assist in the economic development of southeast Michigan by developing a workforce for the state’s burgeoning feature film production industry.”
Partners in this workforce development project are the Office of the Wayne County Executive, the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth (DLEG), the Southeast Michigan Community Alliance (SEMCA) and TicTock Studios of Holland, MI.
Goals of the program are to help put Michigan's unemployed residents back to work and provide a trained local workforce to complement the incentives being offered by the State of Michigan to draw the feature film industry to Michigan, said HFCC President Gail Mee.
“We are very pleased to be a partner in revitalizing the economy of southeast Michigan by training people for job opportunities in the growing film industry,” said Mee. “Henry Ford Community College’s mission is to provide needed education and training for local residents and employers and our Michigan Technical Education Center specializes in customized training for business and industry.”
