L’inis is a non-profit organization that has been offering professional training in the audiovisual sector since 1996.
In 2016, it was recognized as a training mutual by the Quebec government. Its mission in this capacity is to develop and offer training activities that meet the specific needs of cinema, television and digital media workers.
The courses
Courses are offered in a range of areas, including production, financing, image and sound techniques, copyright, acting and occupational health and safety.
The courses impart valuable skills and help supply qualified, well-rounded and productive workers to Quebec’s audiovisual industry.
The courses are funded in part by the Quebec Workforce Skills Development And Recognition Fund in accordance with a simple rule:
- Businesses with a total payroll of over CAN$2 million must invest at least 1% of their payroll in eligible employee training.
- They have two options: creating their own training courses and declaring them to the government, or giving the money to L’inis.
All Quebec, Canadian and international cinema and TV production companies operating in Quebec are subject to this rule.
In 2021–2022, more than CAN$600,000 was given to L’inis in its capacity as a training mutual and invested in a fund to train audiovisual sector workers.
