Northern Melbourne TAFE seeks production partners

The Northern Melbourne Institute of TAFE is looking for production companies interested in partnerships that could see its students produce professional programs for broadcast on free-to-air and pay TV networks.

“We only ask that the production companies we partner with commit to working together with students,” NMIT’s Amanda Turnbull told Encore.

“It’s not just the students that benefit. The production partnerships are equally as rewarding for industry practitioners, who get to impart knowledge, mentor a young person and help them launch their career,” added program coordinator Darren Steffen.

In partnership with McGuire Media, the Screen and Media Students are producing 1.5 hour episodes of the racing show Racing Review, currently being broadcast on Foxtel’s TVN channel and through the TAB Agency Network.
