If you’re searching for media schools in Chicago and the surrounding area, you don’t want to miss out on this unique chance to begin building professional production skills while you’re in school.

Gain valuable hands-on experience 

There’s no doubt that spending time in the classroom, learning from experienced and knowledgeable instructors, is an important part of your education. That’s precisely where you’ll build a foundational understanding of the skills you need to be successful in the field.

But there’s so much more to media than what you can learn in a traditional classroom environment, which is why our programs incorporate hands-on experiences at every opportunity. In this fast-paced industry, there are so many things you can learn by actually doing them yourself – after all; there’s no teacher quite like experience. You’ll have the chance to put your newly-developed skills into practice in a real-world environment, setting you up for success once you’re on the job.

Build professional connections for your future career

Odds are, you already know that figuring out how to get a job in the media industry is one of the most challenging parts of starting your new career. The industry moves at a rapid pace, and it can often feel like you have to know someone on “the inside” to get your foot in the door.

But when you join one of our programs, you’ll be working on Chicago live shoots hosted by many of the biggest names and companies in the region. There, you can network with individuals that are already well-established, connecting with people who can help you learn, grow, and maybe even secure a future job.

Get a competitive edge as a job applicant

Plenty of people dream of working in media and entertainment – so how will you stand out in a sea of job applicants? With the proper course work and some professional experience, you can be confident that you’ll distinguish yourself as an outstanding candidate.

Today, many media companies are searching for individuals who are ready to dive directly into their new role, ideally with minimal training. Because our students are able to work on media shoots at the same time they’re completing their studies, they graduate with a well-rounded resume and the ability to attract the attention of future employers.
