The Office of the Business Representative is pleased to announce the launch of the Pilot Trainee Program. The initiative pairs folks from equity-deserving groups (as defined by the BC Human Rights Commission) with mentors in order to create a clear pathway to membership. The program has been given the approval by BC's Human Rights Commissioner. We are pleased to announce that two local productions have signed up to participate in the program. Find more information on the IATSE site, and in our FAQ here. Questions about the program? Contact 891 Business Representative Crystal Braunwarth at crystalb@iatse.com.
