Technicolor strives to hire locally most of its employees in order to sustain local employment. Technicolor’s locations are usually in very large cities and surrounding metropolitan areas and, as a result, Technicolor holds a minority employer position in most employment areas where it is located and has limited direct local economic influence. However, Technicolor employment may sometimes represent, at the regional level, a significant percentage of the related industry, due to its leadership position and the specific skills required for its business. Therefore, where there is a local talent shortage requiring the hiring of employees from abroad, in addition to its internal Academy training initiative, Technicolor supports the regional development or expansion of education bodies targeting the required skills. Technicolor also contributes actively and dedicates time and resources to industry associations and to cooperative initiatives aiming at developing education and employment at the regional level (Canada, France, UK, India). As part of these cooperative actions, Technicolor representatives chair France and Québec film industry associations, and one Film school. Technicolor focuses its involvement in community initiatives on digital artist education. In addition to its support to the Training Academies (see section 5.2.7.1), and to the close and sustained relationships established by our studios with the major visual effects and animation schools and universities, the Group supports broader educational

initiatives to give opportunities to young talent to access studios and to develop their skills: training students in schools, Master classes, Educator’s week, consulting of curriculum design, online tests for potential trainees, and supporting third-party digital artists schools. Pilots have been launched to target less favored communities to recruit and train talents. In 2018, an apprenticeship scheme pilot in London was set up to focus on working with local schools in less advantaged areas to support our campaign around diversity and to have a program to support our entry level talent. We have partnered with a provider to set up the program over 12 months where 20% of participant’s time is on learning. The program is designed to take participants through business-based learning modules. We are looking to expand and develop this scheme further in 2019 and it supports our campaign around diversity. In 2019, we will be looking at setting up a grad scheme to help support the next generation leaders and producers. The Group supports also the India Foundation for the Arts to help advance projects of cinematographers, with two projects currently underway. The Group also partnered in India with the Attakkalari Foundation to co-create a conference on ‘Poetics of Technology in Performance‘. In partnership with Oxfam India, Technicolor supports schools’ engagement initiatives about recycling and painting activities.
