Development

Esitys- ja teatteritekniikan tutkinto-ohjelman opintojen suunnittelussa ja toteutuksessa tehdään laaja-alaista ja monipuolista yhteistyötä työelämän kanssa. Opetussuunnitelman laatimisessa on hyödynnetty vuonna 2017 alan työnantajille tehtyä kyselyä nykyisistä ja tulevaisuuden osaamistarpeista sekä StageRight-hankkeessa 2019 toteutettua koulutustarvekyselyä (http://urn.fi/URN:ISBN:978-952-328-185-1), StageRight- ja SafeOnStage-hankkeissa kerättyä aineistoa, Tapahtumateollisuuden toimialaraporttia (2020) sekä lähivuosina valmistuneita opinnäytetöitä (mm. Janatuinen 2021, Pietilä 2018).

Opetussuunnitelman kehittämiseen ovat osallistuneet tutkinto-ohjelman vakituinen opetushenkilöstö, työelämän asiantuntijaopettajia sekä työelämän edustajia neuvottelukunnasta. Esitys- ja teatteritekniikan tutkinto-ohjelman neuvottelukunta on osallistunut opetussuunnitelman kehittämiseen ja käsitellyt opetussuunnitelman kokouksessa 11.1.2022. Neuvottelukunnassa on edustus alan merkittäviltä työnantajilta: Akukon Oy, Audico Oy, Bright Finland Oy, Capital AV, Helsingin Kaupunginteatteri, Helsingin Tapahtumasäätiö, Kansallisgalleria, Suomen Kansallisooppera ja -baletti ja SunEffects Oy.
