The Television Academy Foundation is launching a 10-week production assistant training program for Los Angeles-area high school students in a partnership with consumer electronics retailer Best Buy.

Through funding from Best Buy, the after-school program will be free for students, providing them with training for entry-level positions from PAs, production coordinators, assistant directors, production managers, producers, location managers and production accountants. Students will also take field trips to experience scripted and unscripted television productions firsthand.
