ESET: Essential Skills for the Entertainment Technician
ESET will be an Internet based educational
portal that will
enable the user to develop a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental knowledge and skills associated with the entertainment technology industry.
The creation of the
ESET program was born of the realization that many
current entry-level entertainment technicians lack fundamental knowledge and skills related to the industry. The resulting goal of
ESET is to provide technicians with the knowledge and skills they will need to function effectively across all fields of the live entertainment industry and a tool to organize and guide their learning.
The user of the
ESET program will be able to focus on self-selected topics utilizing a sequential approach to learning drawn from a database of textual and graphical content related to entertainment technology. Further,
ESET will provide tools to better assist the user in organizing selected materials in a meaningful fashion, enhancing the learning experience and providing a ready reference to important data.
* For educators, the availability of in-depth materials and the ability to organize them for students will better
enable them to assist and engage student learning while providing the student with the most up to date information available.
* Facility managers will be able to collect venue-specific information to better assist in the training of their workforce.
* Employers will have a new and powerful tool to identify employee skills and readiness for work and a mechanism to support further training of their staffs.
* Individuals will have a vast source of technical support materials literally at their fingertips.
ESET will be a new benchmark of excellence in the entertainment industry and will serve as the principal gateway to knowledge essential for a successful career. Offering educators, managers, employers and individuals the definitive tool by which they can teach, learn and prosper within the industry.
ESET: Ready for today, prepared for tomorrow.
