  • Creative Designer Development

LIVE VISION is constructed and educated from a business background, as all partners involved have either developed their own successful business, have helped build others successful businesses, or have the education and employment experience to teach and construct others.

The business of music generates money from all spectrum, LIVE VISION has developed a playground where all players involved in the music industry where entertainers or behind the scenes creator can present themselves to the world. Platforms where both type of artist can show case their skills, talents and post their wants and needs to other professionals.

Although some artist and behind the scene creators are not yet at the point of being sold as a business, Live Vision has the tools and network to help build the portfolio of an artist and build a solid foundation to that artist’s career.

LIVE VISION has reached access to some of the largest indie names presently accomplishing goals today, and the personal here has been working against the clock to reach across the globe and collect as much information as possible. There is always something to learn and something to do, either to raise a dollar or to increase your business, and the company of LIVE VISION has developed methods for both spectrums of the industry.

The company of Live Vision has created a 12 month program, which is divided up between 6 months of building your portfolio, and an additional 6 months of building your companies profile, networking, marketing, branding and company growth. This program is set up to take individuals that are fresh out of trade school, or have been trying to build their portfolio with reliable names, and have reliable resources / people to work with.

A taste of what LIVE VISION touches base on:

  • Building a company brand and profile
  • Creation of social media pages, and social media 101
  • Creation of company website, logo and promotional material
  • Networking with other like minded professionals
  • Budgets, grants, investments, & sponsorship
  • Promotions, Public Relations, and publicity
  • Portfolio building and industry involvement

Since LIVE VISION is a company that opens their doors to all that have an interest for music, which leads to cost out of the companies pockets, that pay for supplies, utilities, facility, industry professionals teachings, and extra incentives. LIVE VISION like any other learning or trades facility has to charge for the education given. As we at LIVE VISION understand the ability to pay for such a program may seem out of reach, or you may have to work a day job to just to afford the pressures of life, or possibly your educated but just not employed in the field you went to school for.

LIVE VISION has created three methods for CREATORS to be able to attend, and afford this program:

  • EARN TO LEARN:  (12 MONTH PROGRAM)

This is a 12-month intern program with the company of LIVE VISION where the CREATOR attends our offices several times a week, and applies their time to assisting LIVE VISION with their workload, at the same time growing their education and network with in the industry.

  • SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: (12 MONTH PROGRAM)

LIVE VISION is a recognized Employment Program, and for participants that fall under Section 58 of Employment Insurance Act may have the opportunity to be funded while attending the program.

Human Resources and Skills Development Canada supports several Employment Programs to help unemployed and underemployed Canadians, including those facing barriers to employment.

To be eligible for these employment programs, you must meet the definition of an “insured participant” found in Section 58 of the Employment Insurance Act. When applying for assistance, you must be unemployed and legally authorized to work in Canada (Canadian citizen or permanent resident) and either:

  • Have a current claim for Employment Insurance (EI) benefits; or
  • Have a previous EI claim whose benefit period ended in the preceding 36 months; or
  • Have a previous benefit period that began in the preceding 60 months (5 years), during which the individual was paid maternity or parental benefits, after which they left the labour market to care for a newborn or newly adopted child and are now seeking to re-enter the labour market.

Once the 12 months are accomplished the artist will be able to walk away with a fully established portfolio, and operating business structure. The artist will further be educated with the tools he/she needs and also with the network and support to have a successful career in the music industry.

 

ENTERTAINERS

"My first day at Live Vision as an intern I thought I had to get coffee...nope. Our meeting started with what I could bring to the table and what my intentions were and what did I want out of this experience. I knew that this organization was open and growing and headed for big things. A year later after dabbling in everything, except coffee fetching, I am a partner. And I wear shades everyday because Live Vision's future so bright.” – Vickie Burnell
