Factory Academy X Rochdale GM's Town of Culture: Event Ready

This round of Event Ready is delivered in partnership with Rochdale Development Agency, Your Trust Rochdale, Sound Roots and Middleton Arena. To be eligible for a place on this course you must live in the Rochdale Borough and be over 18 and able to commit to 5 days of training between Mon 2 Feb and Fri 6 Feb.

We are actively seeking individuals who bring diverse perspectives and backgrounds to the event technician role. We are looking for people who may never have previously considered a career in this industry before.

We welcome applications from individuals who may not traditionally be represented in the event technician community, including but not limited to women, people from Black and Global Majority backgrounds, individuals from LGBTQ+ communities, and individuals with disabilities.

It's important that candidates have the physical capability to meet the demands of the role, including the ability to lift and carry equipment, work in physically demanding environments, and adapt to unsocial hours as required by event schedules.

We believe that a diverse team enriches our creative environment, fosters innovation, and enhances our ability to connect with audiences from all walks of life. We encourage candidates from underrepresented groups to apply and join us in shaping the future of event production.
