Total Events has recently commenced training of a new group of trainees, studying for a Certificate 3 in Music Industry (Technical Production).
Over the next year these trainees will study all aspects of audio, lighting, audiovisual, and staging systems using some of the most advanced systems available in the events hire industry today. The trainees are also required to undertake basic studies in occupational health and safety, cultural diversity and teamwork as required for the award of a Nationally Recognised Training Package.
During this time they are given real opportunities to practice their skills by working on local and major events throughout Victoria and Australia.
This latest intake brings to 45 the total number who have been offered permanent part time positions at Total Events since 2006, showing our commitment to our industry and our local community.
On a cold Sunday morning a group of TE staff enjoyed the battle of what was 'paintball.' The group were split into two, the aim to target the opposition as much as possible and cover them with as much paint as possible. Three fields of battle were played and although one team would argue that they won the battle, the war has certainly not been won by either team...the bruises all over everyone's bodies prove it. Another social event will be planned shortly. A big thank you to Ricky for organizing this event.
