The government is looking to double the number of jobs in the sector to over 24,000 (audio visual action plan, Creative Ireland Pillar 4). Creative digital projects built with rapidly changing technologies have created a large skills gap in the talent pipeline that underpins this expansion. This is creating a lot of demand for technically skilled artists designers and IT graduates in TV and feature film both nationally and within the mid west region where 100s of jobs have been created at Troy Studios, Castletroy, Limerick. This is an established and popular programme aimed at recent graduates and those looking to upskill who are also working in the screen production, film, tv, animation sector. It has been sucessfully offered in 2020, 2021, and 2022 and will run again in 2023.
