Concept of Work
This Career Group provides
career tracks for employees who support and/or manage media,

costume design/construction, theatre production, photography, digital
imaging, graphic communications, fabrication and maintenance of exhibits,
and/or provision of television, film, audio visual and video services.
Employees perform duties ranging from entry to management roles.
Roles Comprising This Group
These roles describe the
collective characteristics of the work performed by employees in the Media
& Production Services Career
Group. The roles define the typical career paths for media and production
specialists, who pursue careers such as costumers,
graphic artists, photographers, television/radio/video production technicians
and specialists, audio/visual technicians, and exhibit preparators.
Although all of these occupations are media and production
specialists, each warrants a separate career track. Each of these career
paths requires different knowledge, skills, and abilities and would not
naturally lead to the other for career progression. However, a role for
each of these occupations represents different levels of work, or career
progression. Career paths may exist within a single role, extend to other
roles in this Career Group, or to roles in occupationally related Career
Groups.
