What does it take to build the next generation of AV professionals? Jamison Vandenberg joins host Britt Yenser in the brAVe [space] to talk about bringing students into AV, discovering their strengths, and giving them the hands-on experience they need to grow.
From finance majors learning AV installation to students taking on independent troubleshooting and programming, Jamison shares how he tailors training to each student’s interests, builds confidence through real-world projects, and helps students see AV as more than just “the AV guy” at a university. They also talk about why customer service and a willingness to learn can matter more than technical experience, the value of letting students be uncomfortable, and how getting their hands on the gear can make everything click.
If you’ve ever wondered how to spark the love of AV in the next generation, or how to make student workers valuable members of your team, than this episode is for you! Come for the inspiration, stay for the side quest.
