Stream C - Short Courses
Funding support is available to eligible applicants for short course fees where theoretical and practical education can assist in a practitioner’s screen or gaming career journey workshops in accordance with the Industry Development Guidelines.
Funding is available for 50% of the course fee. This will be capped at $2,000 per person, per financial year.
These courses will be approved by Screen Tasmania’s Industry Development team based on the priorities of skills shortages.
If the course aligns with current below-the-line gaps in critical shortage, consideration will be given to funding 100% of the tuition fees.
Courses that relate to crew gaps in critical shortage include:
- Costume
- Hair and Make-up
