Within the range spanning Technician to Senior (inclusive), there are two separate but non-exclusive tracks. An employee can pursue either a GRAPHICS or VIDEO specialization. Team members will be slotted to their highest qualification with respect to either track; not to both except where applicable. The new Developer grade is positioned to recognize the high value of a versatile hybrid member, one with strong competencies in both disciplines, but not at the specialized expertise needed to qualify for Senior Developer grade. The goal is to encourage employees to diversify their skill sets in order to attain the higher project-management positions which require a convergence of specialties. As implied with the Developer position, such versatility at any level is a great asset in a small team. In reality, the likelihood of hiring such versatile, non-specialized media talent is unlikely, so progression for most will occur within our unit. That is, we would hire for a graphics or video specialist, and internally train for progression. A base-level technician position has also been developed for entry-level contingencies (such a position has value).
