FTM is once again accepting applications to the HR Training Fund.
The Human Resource Training Fund was designed to assist Manitoba production companies by providing support for customized training initiatives that are specific to their needs. The HR Training Fund is a positive step forward for Manitoba’s film industry because it allows local companies to design their own training, under the guidance of FTM.
Crew Course and Travel Fund
The Crew Course and Travel Fund (CCTF) was created to support the professional development of Manitoba crewmembers currently working in the industry. Through the CCTF, FTM will provide financial assistance to cover the costs of attending a workshop or course not available in Manitoba.
