Inspiring the Next Generation of Live Event Professionals
Lukad AV Academy was founded with a clear mission: to bridge the gap between education and the live events industry. We recognized a growing need for skilled technical operators as the industry faced a decline in seasoned professionals. This challenge presents an incredible opportunity for high school students to gain early access to hands-on training and develop the skills needed to thrive in live technical production.
​​
We are committed to two key objectives:
-
Identifying and nurturing the next generation of passionate students, transforming them into skilled and confident technical operators.
-
Supporting the live events industry by equipping students with foundational skills before they leave school, ensuring a sustainable future for the profession.​​​​
Mission
Our mission is to bridge the gap between education and industry by delivering hands-on, practical training in live technical production. Through our programs, we empower students to gain real-world skills, connect with industry professionals, and explore rewarding career opportunities, ensuring a brighter future for both our students and the live events industry.
Vision
To inspire and equip the next generation of live event professionals by providing unparalleled training in technical production, fostering creativity, innovation, and a passion for excellence.
Hands-On, Real-World Training
Our program isn’t just about learning—it’s about doing.Students meet weekly for immersive two-hour sessions, working with industry-standard equipment and gaining firsthand experience in audio, lighting, and video production. Beyond regular training, our exclusive holiday workshops connect students with experienced industry professionals, offering deeper insights and advanced technical skill development. This ongoing, hands-on approach ensures students build confidence and expertise that extend far beyond a single workshop.
Developing Critical Skills for Life
Lukad AV Academy prepares students not just for careers in live production, but for success in any field that values problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork. Our program emphasizes:
-
Problem-Solving & Adaptability: Live event production is dynamic and fast-paced. Students learn to think critically, troubleshoot technical issues, and adapt to unexpected challenges in real time.
-
Creativity & Conceptualization: Whether designing lighting effects, mixing sound, or managing visual elements, students develop creative and technical skills that bring events to life.
-
Collaboration & Communication: Successful productions rely on teamwork. Our students learn to communicate effectively with peers, event organizers, and professionals to ensure seamless execution.
-
Confidence & Leadership: Taking responsibility for technical elements in live events builds resilience, leadership, and self-assurance.
The STEAM Connection
Live technical production brings together elements of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) in a way that's exciting and practical:
​
-
Science & Engineering: Students explore how sound travels, how lighting works, and how different materials affect acoustics.
​
-
Technology: They get hands-on with professional audio, lighting, and video gear, learning how to use industry-standard equipment.
​
-
Arts & Creativity: Live production is all about creating an experience—using lighting, sound, and visuals to set the mood and tell a story.
​
-
Mathematics: From figuring out the best angles for lighting to adjusting sound frequencies, students use math in real-life situations without even realizing it.
A Pathway to Future Success
Lukad AV Academy is more than just an extracurricular activity—it’s a stepping stone to a thriving career. Whether students pursue a future in live events, media production, or other technical fields, they leave our program with the skills, experience, and industry connections needed to succeed. By combining hands-on training with a passion for excellence, we are shaping the next generation of live event professionals.
