The
ēSET (Essential Skills for the
Entertainment Technician) body of knowledge developed and vetted by industry
professionals has now been released as an iOS app available for download in the
iTunes store.
The
body of knowledge has been available on the ESTA Foundation site but ēSET committee member Dana Taylor thought
it needed to be even more mobile so he decided to work to make it an iOS app.
The
creation of the ēSET program
was born of the realization that many current entry-level entertainment
technicians lack fundamental knowledge and skills related to the industry. The
resulting goal of ēSET is
to provide technicians with the knowledge and skills they will need to function
effectively across all fields of the live entertainment industry and a tool to
organize and guide their learning.
The
user of the ēSET program
will be able to focus on self-selected topics utilizing a sequential approach
to learning drawn from a database of textual and graphical content related to
entertainment technology. Further, ēSET
provides tools to better assist the user in organizing selected materials in a
meaningful fashion, enhancing the learning experience and providing a ready
reference to important data.
- For
educators, the availability of in-depth materials and the ability to
organize them for students will better enable them to assist and engage
student learning while providing the student with the most up to date
information available.
- Facility
managers will be able to collect venue-specific information to better
assist in the training of their workforce.
- Employers
will have a new and powerful tool to identify employee skills and
readiness for work and a mechanism to support further training of their
staffs.
- Individuals
will have a vast source of technical support materials literally at their
fingertips.
The
99 cent ēSET app offers educators,
managers, employers and individuals an on the go tool by which they can teach,
learn and prosper within the industry. To download go to http://bit.ly/esetapp or scan the QR code below.
