We are a division of the Local dedicated to training, through which we hope to establish more and better standards of wor... kplace safety, behavior, and technical knowledge. The department has developed over 200 hrs. (over 60 separate subjects) of classes and has held over 1100 hrs. of classes, with more than 3000 students attending. After the Local funded us for the first four years, in 2001 we began operation of the nonprofit Local 22, I.A.T.S.E. Training Fund, a 501(c)(3) corporation set up to continue our efforts. We receive annual contributions from the Kennedy Center, the Wolftrap Foundation for the Performing Arts, Fords Theatre, the National Theatre Corporation, and the Grateful Dead organization. We also receive contributions on a percentage basis from GLP, the Warner Theater, Strathmore Hall Foundation, and other contracts, as well as the continuing contribution of the Local. In 2002, we began a partnership with Prince Georges Community College offering the Theatre & Entertainment Technology Certificate Program, jointly funded and taught by our two organizations. We are members of PLASA, USITT, InfoComm, NSC, and ASSE.Read More
