The film, television and theatrical stage industries are very demanding in the technical areas over which the IATSE has jurisdiction. When the Union supplies personnel to facilitate safe and proficient productions the organization must be able to stand behind each worker, confident that he/she is an experienced, trained, competent, and talented professional. To that end you are advised to consider the following criteria when deciding to pursue your resume submission. Please note that in the past two years, only 10% of the applications submitted advanced to union membership. Permit status will be determined based on the following:

1. Professional training in a specific craft or technical skill.
2. On the job experience (minimum of 20 days).
3. Demonstrated talent in a specific craft or skill area.
4. Understanding of the entertainment industry workplace/environment.
5. Honesty, good character, and professionalism.
6. Subject to department approval based on minimum department criteria.
