This isn’t like carpentry or working in a machine shop.
For purposes of an engaging sort of hobby then this training in mechanics might be kind of fun. And hobbies and avocations are great.
It would definitely be fun for the students. But that’s about it.
Join us on June 24-28, 2024 in Burbank, CA for specially curated programming specifically for arts, media, and entertainment educators!
BURBANK, CA, UNITED STATES, April 22, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Arts Media and Entertainment Institute (AME Institute), a non-profit committed to building a strong pipeline from public education to the creative industries, is thrilled to announce its exciting plans for their annual 3 day institute. AME Institute Burbank will welcome over 600 educators to Burbank for workshops, trainings, and networking opportunities that they have developed with local entertainment industry partners including Dolby, Nickelodeon, Television Academy Foundation, Disney, Woodbury University, Filmtools, Anonymous Sound, MUD, S4 Studios, and Illuminar. Additional programming partners include Sony Pictures Entertainment, Snap, Variety, Adobe, Soundtrap, Toon Boom, SideFX, and more to be announced.
All this in only three days?
Curated Sessions and Programming: In partnership with creative arts industry leaders and in response to the evolving needs of the arts media and entertainment industries, AME Institute Burbank curates programming to equip educators with the skills and knowledge their students need to succeed in today’s ever changing creative arts industries. These programs will offer specialized training in focused areas such as visual arts, design, theater, film/television, dance, vfx/gaming/animation, and more, providing educators with the tools and insight their students need to thrive in a rapidly changing landscape. Educators are given the opportunity to design their own path of programming over the three days to allow for a variety of educational opportunities that may span multiple disciplines and areas of focus. AME Institutes begin with a kick-off presentation and keynote presenter. The 2024 Keynote Speaker is to be announced. Previous keynote speakers include actress Phylicia Rashad, Meowolf Founder Vince Kadlubek, and Warner Bros. Executive Dan Dark.
That’s a lot of different subject areas. It’s like everything in the world that’s cool.
But these trainings are only a means to an end, and unless you individually concentrate on the meaning and purpose of those ends themselves then there’s going to be a lot of career floundering going on here. Like, why are you doing it to begin with, kids?
Never heard of this local Burbank non-profit. Sounds a little too conveniently feelgood-y.
Our goal at the AME Institute is to strengthen the pipeline from public education to the creative industries, ensuring that all students, and particularly those furthest from opportunity, get access to the high-wage creative industry jobs of today and tomorrow.
These aren’t real jobs. And whatever they are, they’re just so damned transient at best.
What does that verbiage even mean? It’s nothing but buzzwords. “Alignment”?
All this institutionalization and schematizing. It’s the exact opposite of art and creativity. It certainly doesn’t foster it.
You gotta do it on your own if this is what you’re interested in. Like a hobby! Maybe something will kick in and maybe it won’t. But these aren’t real jobs any more (if they ever were.) Not with such easy technology in an obviously vague and flaky corporate business environment.
Look how many tech and media layoffs have there been during the past year. Especially tech and media. Besides that current reality, you hit age 40 now and they don’t want you any more.
