PRG UK: WHY APPRENTICESHIPS MATTER Leigh Yeomans, Head of People Services at PRG, details what opportunities are available for those looking to make their first steps in the live events sector. PRG UK Event Rigging Specialist, Max Reynolds; Head of People Services, Leigh Yeomans.
With a greater focus on introducing new talent to the sector than ever before, PRG UK has revealed two apprenticeships available for application: Live Event Technician (Level 3) and Live Event Rigger (Level 3). Both schemes last for three years and are specifically designed to provide applicants with an introduction into the technical delivery of live events. Over the three years, apprentices
build a solid foundation of knowledge in the services PRG provides, from familiarising themselves with the basics and functions of technical production equipment in its warehouse, through to learning how PRG events are delivered and receiving hands-on experience with the PRG team. As apprentices’ skills and abilities progress, suitable key projects are identified for
apprentices to join PRG crews so that they can start to build up a portfolio of events for their CVs. At the end of their three years, PRG apprentices will have a qualification as either Live Event Technicians or Riggers. As they look to their next steps, PRG will work with them to consider different avenues to help apprentices find work with the company either in-house or in the wider industry
