ENTRY-LEVEL OPPORTUNITIES

VAM maintains a long-standing commitment to growing its employees’ careers. Assistants, coordinators, and interns, along with other colleagues across the company, play a critical role in enabling our business to deliver the best results for our clients. Our staff’s growth comes from meaningful roles, educational offerings, and hands-on learning and development opportunities that provide the skills and knowledge needed to forge industry relationships and to build a career in entertainment and media.

Career Progression

The general framework for the career progression of entry-level staff is to participate in an 18-month program of employment and on-the-job training. The focus in the first six months is on mastering the administrative responsibilities required to provide first-class support to agents. The focus of the second six months is on expanding the level of contribution to the company through more substantive activities. The focus of the third six months will be on helping agents directly drive business. Evaluations will be conducted every 3 months to reflect on progress and set goals. At the end of 18 months top-performers will be offered opportunities for promotion in which we will develop and execute a 6-month succession and advancement plan.

Throughout the program, Coordinators will be invited to attend and support Vanguarde’s mission at industry events including the TIFF, annual awards ceremonies, and CFC showcases/events.
