Community media and industry training: survey results November 2007

Researchers at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation recently conducted an online survey on the career pathways of media workers. In total, 351 media industry employees from across all media sectors completed the survey. The survey provides a snapshot of educational qualifications, voluntary/work experience history and other factors which assisted media industry employees to make the transition to paid employment. The CCI survey reveals that community media contributes substantially to the media industries, providing training and networks which lead to real career opportunities across the commercial, public, community and education sectors.
