APDG Costume Supervisor Pathway Program
The “Costume Supervisor Pathway Program” is an initiative by the Australian Production Designers Guild to address the chronic shortage of costume supervisors and counter it with comprehensive training. Three mid-career costume department practitioners will be upskilled in a new Assisting Costume Supervisor position. This offers “a specialized training opportunity, creating a pathway for potential costume supervisors, bridging the gap between existing roles and meeting the industry’s increasing demand for local supervisors on large-scale, high-budget, and international productions.”
You’ll find more information about conditions, salary, and more on their website.
