Shortage of broadcast engineers?

At IBC this year MMC Committee members spoke to many exhibitors with the aim of understanding what the next big technology would be. But the biggest concern we encourntered was "where are the next generation of engineers going to come from?" Many companies are already reportdly struggling to recruit employees with the right skills. 


What do you think the answer will be?

  • Good morning, Sinead

    Apologies for not defining the acronym.

    RTS is the Royal Television Society - see their website at https://rts.org.uk/our-ceo.  That page is about Theresa Wise, CEO.  When I was IET Presdient, we had a couple of meetings about how the IET and RTS could work together, building on the joint prestige lecture (eg https://rts.org.uk/event/rtsiet-public-lecture-sir-paul-nurse), also seeking opportunities for qualifications and communities.  If you follow up one of the contacts o nthe RTS website, they should be able to point you in the right direction regarding potential employers.


    I've lost touch with how the RTS-IET relationship has developed, but Naomi Climer (our Immediate Past-President) is still involved.
