Galway companies at the forefront of TG4 & Údarás na Gaeltachta’s Irish-language media training scheme
Thu, Oct 03, 2024
TG4, Údarás na Gaeltachta, and the Irish-language production sector have launched the fourth year of their successful Training Scheme aimed at developing Irish-speaking talent in the media industry. This year, several prominent Galway-based production companies are playing a key role in training the next generation of Irish-language media professionals.
The scheme offers 15 trainees a one-year paid employment opportunity with television production companies, including leading Galway companies such as Aniar in Carna, Abú Media in Baile na hAbhann, MC2 in An Tulach, and Lorg Media in Galway City. These companies are central to the initiative, providing trainees with hands-on experience in various aspects of media production. John Nee is working with Aniar in Casla, Sinéad Fatherty with Abú Media in Indreabhán, Bláithín de Búrca with MC2, and Evan Ó Flátharta with Lorg Media in Galway City.
These Galway-based companies, along with other notable participants like Fíbín, Danú Media, Stiúideó Cuan, and Iris, offer vital professional experience to trainees over the course of the year. In addition to on-the-job training, participants will attend monthly courses organised by Gréasán na Meán (Skillnet) and Atlantic Technological University (ATU), earning a level 8 qualification in Media Practice by the end of the program.
