Programming will be individualized to assure that it is purposeful and functional for the individual. Students will be able to learn skills in television/film or animation as well as interpersonal skills needed in any job (appearance, eye contact, conversational skills, etc.) at their own pace and through self initiation. If the student can choose what they would like to learn and when they would like to learn it, it will instill a sense of control while minimizing frustration in the student.
The student will also have a sense of mastery of the skill prior to moving on to the next skill set so that they can one day secure a job and feel confident that they can perform the job well.
The main focus of this program is to have the students learn an entertainment industry skill set while learning to interact appropriately in the workplace. It is the hope of the Advanced Media Vocational Academy that every student that attends the program has the skills and self control to secure a job in the entertainment industry. |
