WHY? |
One of the most needed skill sets in Greater Cincinnati, but least developed in the NKY K12 system is design. The interactive media design program will allow students to earn industry certifications in design, while sharpening skills and exploring the lucrative industries that rapidly need interactive designers. In addition to the coursework listed, there will be speaker sessions featuring designers, brand and marketing experts, and local entrepreneurs. Roughly 3.5 million jobs are expected to be added to the economy in the creative design fields, with greater Cincinnati being poised to be the city that will capitalize the most on this expansion.
Students enrolling in the program will develop a portfolio, and work with local clients on design needs. The program is centered around project based learning. In addition, it will help students become career ready. |
