TV and radio presenter Jason Mohammad and his company, Team Boundless, has joined forces with Whisper to launch the inaugural Creative Media Production Bootcamp.
As part of Cardiff Capital Region’s (CCR) Cluster Skills Programme, the Creative Media Production Bootcamp, managed by Cardiff and Vale College (CAVC), is an industry skills course for emerging talent in media and entertainment.
This Bootcamp has been designed by Whisper, Team Boundless, and Tramshed Tech and will be delivered by an expert team who have years of experience in transforming ‘new talent’ into skilled working professionals within a few short weeks.
Participants will learn the essential skills and gain valuable understanding of what is needed to thrive in the creative industries, with a focus on live sport production.
Rowena O’Sullivan, Skills & Talent Manager at Cardiff Capital Region shares: “The Creative Bootcamp programme offers a unique opportunity for individuals seeking a career in the creative sector across the Region to connect with industry leaders and work on real world projects and we are particularly keen to ensure a diverse and inclusive cohort of learners.”
James Scorey, Vice Principal of Business Development at Cardiff and Vale College said, “This is an excellent example of Cardiff and Vale College’s targeted engagement with employers and stakeholders across priority sectors and illustrates how we are able to utilise funding and resources to close skills gaps and increase the pipeline of talent where it is most needed.”
Carys Owens, Managing Director at Whisper Cymru said: “Whisper is excited to bring this unique bootcamp to life and enhance the existing Whisper Academy experience. We see the power of mentorship and hands-on training and how it can positively impact the future of the creative industries. With the Paralympic Games being produced remotely from Cardiff this Autumn, it is a huge boost to the local economy as well as offering job opportunities for the future live broadcasters in an accessible environment.”
Jason Mohammad said: “I am so excited to be working with CCR, Whisper, Tramshed and CAVC on this new project. We are ready to offer some fantastic masterclasses and opportunities by using our vast experience of live TV and broadcast. Our intention is to give people a chance to learn how to present, direct and produce shows, as well as many other things. We hope to inspire and create roles for people. Do not miss out on this amazing bootcamp!”
