Working with our industry partners, we organise technical tours of a diverse range of lighting applications across TV, theatre, sports and touring - these contacts often lead to job opportunities.

"Working with Robe's Creative Team has truly inspired me. I was overwhelmed with excitement to be the assistant LD at this year's TPi Awards - it was a fantastic opportunity and I will carry the skills I've learned into the future."
