NBCUniversal has partnered with a Canadian company, Descriptive Video Works that have announcers who specialize in describing the games to a visually impaired audience.

At NBCUniversal, we believe in the power of giving back. Through NBCUnites, we create opportunities for positive change in our local communities. In July, our employees made a significant impact through various volunteer efforts: 💜 Over 150 early career talents from nearly 20 nonprofits connected with NBCUniversal Creatives, learning from executives and gaining valuable career insight. 💜 Our NBCUnites Ambassadors led 100+ employees in volunteer activities, including kit packing with Happy Hope Factory, decorating foster bags for Foster Love and revitalizing a garden with Covenant House International. 💜 50 students from Junior Achievement of Northern California participated in a three-week virtual program led by 18 CNBC mentors. The program concluded with students’ pitching their ideas to a panel of judges, demonstrating their understanding of financial literacy and career planning. 💜 We hosted 12 young women from Step Up and Girls Write Now for a two-day career inspiration camp. They explored various career paths, engaged in discussions on the role of women in media and created vision boards to visualize their future goals. 💜250 employees at our Universal Studios Lot stuffed 6,000 backpacks with essential supplies for underserved children in LA, in collaboration with NBC4 and Telemundo 52's ‘Supporting Our Schools’ or ‘Apoyando a Nuestras Escuelas’ campaign.

Universal Pictures’ Twisters continues to break box office records and is the latest film to host the Universal Below-the-Line Traineeship, a unique career opportunity which placed trainees across 8 departments including Costume, Art Department, Sustainability, Production Office, Production Accounting, VFX, Construction (Art Department) and Post-Production VFX. In conjunction with the Oklahoma Film and Music Office, who helped source Oklahoma’s incredible emerging below-the-line talent, and Ghetto Film School who helped source our Post-Production VFX trainee in LA, the traineeship provided individuals who are new to the industry, including those from historically underrepresented backgrounds, on-set experience and mentorship. "Hands-on training is a crucial element to any career, but particularly in the dynamic field of film production. As the demand for experienced crew continues to grow, Universal’s Below-the-Line Traineeship opens doors for a new generation of talent, including accountants, prop masters, grips and electricians, VFX technicians and the myriad roles critical to any production." — Jeff LaPlante, Universal’s President of Physical Production Read more: https://lnkd.in/eTaZ4uef #Traineeship #Production #Universal
