Get ‘Em YoungA major issue in the development and recruitment of diverse media talent is the education conundrum: not enough diverse students in the pipe, which means a too-small emerging talent pool of diverse professionals from which to draw.

Clearing the PipelinesWhere does the diversity pipeline get clogged? Creative people from a variety of diverse backgrounds have all experienced multiple barriers when trying to access employment or gain experience in the media sector or other areas. This session will explore how to identify these barriers and uncover solutions; and focus on the successes of these groups while staying open to exploring unknown territory. Panelists will discuss the key creative, proactive outreach activities that broadcasters, programmers and HR departments can initiate to attract under-represented groups. Will the diversity pipeline ever be cleared once and for all? Moderator: David Onley, CityTV Panelists: Tom Perlmutter, Director General, National Film Board
Media Career Management 101mediaINTELLIGENCE.ca Inc. is Canada's leading media recruitment agency, offering recruitment, training and career management to the broadcast and cultural communities. Today's market requires candidates to be much more self-directed and entrepreneurial in their approach to securing employment. Standards are high, competition is stiff. It's critical to know your market and its expectations in order to secure the types of positions you want. MI provides that support and our broadcasters are there to fill in the blanks/help assist candidates through the HR submission process. Different approaches are required for different markets: larger broadcasters have formal systems in place, indie production community is a completely different thing - they are more informal and deadline-driven. MI helps candidates achieve the level of professional development they need, and "make their business case" for the jobs of their dreams. Broadcasters then give candidates a chance to realize their dreams. What the candidates do with it is then up to them. Success is totally possible in our industry - you just have to do your planning on the front end - and leave less to chance. Participants at this panel will leave with a true sense of what's required, and how to get their stuff in front of the right people at the right time for the right reasons. We call it the "slam dunk". |
