engineer for the company. Though the learning curve was steep, the position has opened up lots of opportunities. “When I came in, I knew nothing about the broadcast industry,” says Berg. “After working at Vizrt for two years, I know a whole lot more, but that first year was pretty intense. A challenge we often have with entry- level developers is that they need at least a year to gain a broader understanding of the industry. By having interns or students do their
bachelor projects with us, that process starts much earlier – which benefits both the student and us down the line.” As broadcast technology loses its hyper-specialisation, it means those working in the industry can develop more transferable skills. While it’s possible for someone entering the industry today to blaze a path in the rapidly changing world of broadcast, they can also more easily switch to a new industry than previous generations of broadcast specialists.
