Tech Crew

If you are looking to offer a cool, extra-curricular activity for your students, the Tech Crew program might just be your answer. Give young students valuable insight into the exciting world of AV and into new career paths they or their parents may not necessarily consider.

Some of the Tech Crew program's key benefits:

• Teach your students theoretical skills to learn how cool tech experiences are made possible through AV
• Teach your students technical skills by giving them access to hands-on experiences, such as helping out as a Tech Crew member in school events
• Help your students develop soft skills in leadership, project and time management, as well as teamwork
• Encourage and help your students prepare for AVIXA professional certifications, which are sought-after qualifications for industry professionals
• Improve your students’ wellbeing by providing an environment, where troubled students may be able to find a place to belong and thrive
• Encourage improvement of students’ academic performances, since AVIXA recommends that students’ participation in tech crew operations are also tied to academic achievements.
• Benefit from your very own Tech Crew as an invaluable resource to provide AV support for assemblies, school fetes, sports carnivals, drama and theatre productions, school website, school promotion videos, social media platforms, etc.

If you are the parent of a secondary school student, who believes that their child might be interested in becoming a Tech Crew member, you can contact your child’s school and let them know about the AVIXA Tech Crew program. Please identify a contact within the school staff, such as a teacher, the principal or the extra-curricular activities coordinator, and put them in touch with the AVIXA Foundation at [email protected].

Get involved by volunteering to help mentor a local Tech Crew in your area, visiting Tech Crews in schools to provide foundational training on technologies and industry trends or even consider offering internships. Our vision is to help the next generation join the workforce and to help our members find well trained and passionate staff.

The AVIXA Tech Crew challenge was launched at Integrate 2018 in Sydney. The goal of this challenge is to provide students with one action-packed day of access to Integrate, the largest Audiovisual Technology show in the Southern Hemisphere that will give them valuable insight into the industry. In 2018, 100 students from various secondary schools around Sydney took the opportunity to join the challenge that saw them attending a required number of education sessions at the show and visit exhibitors’ booths to learn about the latest products. Students were accompanied by adult supervisors of their school. At the end of the day, students provided proof of their visit to the show floor and education sessions and in exchange earned a backpack from AVIXA filled with a T-Shirt and swags.
