Careers in the Arts

Entertainment industries are experiencing unprecedented growth and rely on both traditional and specialized skills.  New multimedia technologies and a worldwide increase in tourism have created industry demand.  Your specialized training and transferable skills in critical and analytical thinking techniques, communication, creative problem solving and teamwork skills improve your potential career opportunities in cultural and knowledge-based industries.
