NABET-CWA Local 41, in partnership with BURST and CWA/NETT Academy, brought the new mobile training lab to Chicago for two weeks of intensive hands-on training with Final Cut Pro7.
The Windy City was the second stop for the lab, which previously debuted this spring at NABET-CWA Local 411 in Minneapolis. The Final Cut Pro Lab is the second mobile lab utilized by NABET-CWA, and was funded by CWA's Strategic Industry Funds program. A similar mobile lab featuring Avid non-linear editing software has been used for training NABET-CWA members for the past few years, and is still in high demand.
In Chicago, BURST training specialist Jim Talluto converted the standard 3-day class into four separate 5-day modules customized to fit the various work schedules of Local 41 members. As a result, 32 members of Local 41 were exposed to this stimulating interactive instruction.
Member response was huge, with every seat in the classroom reserved for all sessions, and an overflow waiting list of several additional members. Feedback from the participants was exceptional and everyone walked away with enthusiasm and greatly improved editing skills.
Local 41 President Charlie Braico was delighted with the overwhelming membership response and extends his sincere gratitude to FCP Instructor Jim Talluto, Kevin Celata and his team at CWA/NETT Academy as well as Joe Salvaggio, BURST Coordinator for NABET-CWA.
The next stop for the Final Cut Pro lab is NABET-CWA Local 43, in Detroit, Michigan.
