AVIXA and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Training Trust Fund (IATSE TTF) are celebrating 15 years of their partnership.

The IATSE TTF facilitates training opportunities for IATSE workers to achieve and maintain the skills, ability, and knowledge necessary to meet the ever-changing technologies in the entertainment and exhibition industries.

IATSE members have access to both on-demand and live courses led by AVIXA instructors. Over the last 15 years, there have been more than 17,000 enrollments by IATSE members in AVIXA education activities, representing more than 200,000 hours of education. In addition, many members have gone on to attain their CTS certification, showcasing the tangible benefits of this collaboration.

"We are incredibly proud of our long-standing partnership with IATSE," says David Labuskes, CTS, CAE, RCDD, CEO of AVIXA. "Their dedication to education and professional development has significantly contributed to the advancement of the AV industry. Together, we have created a robust training program that empowers IATSE members to excel in their careers and adapt to the evolving technological landscape."

"We are thrilled that through our established partnership thousands of IATSE members and workers spanning the US and Canada have accessed the cutting-edge courses and resources AVIXA has to offer," says Liz Campos, MSW, executive director of the IATSE TTF. "We look forward to these continued and expanding education and growth opportunities being available to all IATSE craftspeople."

AVIXA says it will be introducing new courses that focus on emerging technologies and practices, further supporting IATSE members by equipping them with innovative skills. Additionally, AVIXA plans to expand its reach by offering more accessible and flexible learning options, ensuring that all IATSE members have the opportunity to benefit from AVIXA's comprehensive educational resources.
