IABM awards Tom McGann training bursary to ABU

The International Association of Broadcasting Manufacturers (IABM) has announced that the Asia Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) has been selected as the recipient of the 2004 Tom McGann Training Bursary.
Introduced at IBC 2001, the annual £20,000 bursary promotes and assists the provision of engineering training within the broadcasting industry for young engineers who would otherwise be unable to benefit from such formal training or enjoy the opportunity of work placement with recognised institutions. The recipients of the training, who must be currently engaged within the industry, will be chosen by the ABU.
The Bursary will be presented to a representative of the ABU by Martin Salter, Chairman of the IABM at an official ceremony, held during IBC, on Saturday September 11. The lucky beneficiaries will be trained at the Staff Training Institute Technical (STIT) in New Delhi, India, which has an excellent reputation, highly qualified and skilled staff and first-rate facilities.
“It’s very important that we provide opportunities to students who may not otherwise be able to gain access to this type of training,” said Salter. “By granting the Tom McGann Bursary to a well respected and established broadcasting organisation such as the ABU, we can reach young engineers all over the world, widening the talent pool for manufacturers looking to employ the next generation of broadcasting engineers.”
The Bursary recognises a life-long and significant contribution made to the international broadcasting community by Tom McGann, a former chairman of the IABM, and reflects the IABM’s ongoing commitment to assisting in the future of broadcasting.
