Welcome to Tech Crew

Mission

The Tech Crew program fosters the next generation of audiovisual and integrated experience professionals by establishing and supporting AV tech crews in secondary education institutions.

Vision

A sustainable future for the AV industry requires ensuring there is an ample, well-trained workforce. AVIXA Foundation works with secondary and tertiary schools interested in implementing or further developing their own Tech Crew. Participation in Tech Crew is a proven method of empowering young adults to deepen their passions, learn new skills, and discover career pathways formerly unfamiliar to them.

Origins of the Tech Crew Concept

The Tech Crew program was originally invented and developed in 2012 by students at Knox Grammar School as a co-curricular activity, led by the [then] head of Knox Grammar Tech Crew Benny Caswell, CTS® (Certified Technology Specialist™).  Many of the original Knox Crew members now work in technology and management careers. They remain active leaders and mentors for Tech Crews coming behind them.

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.
