The Emerging Practitioner
Digital Media CT is piloting a free micro-credential course that helps undergraduate students increase their knowledge of CT-based careers in film, television, and digital media.
This first course targets emerging undergraduate talent unfamiliar with the various career opportunities in Connecticut. Students who enroll in the course will expand their knowledge of media and technology companies located in the state while also learning how to connect their skills to companies outside their immediate field. Students will also consider their responsibility as emerging professionals and why it's necessary to keep up with industry and technology trends.
