SD83 Envision Visual Careers Next Month

SD83 students have an opportunity to check out creative careers with a field trip to Kelowna in May.

The College for Arts and Technology or CAT hopes to host over 70 students and instructors at its Kelowna Landmark facility on May 9th. Students will have a chance to not just get a tour of the facility, but will be able to work for up to three hours in any of the following disciplines to create a small project: Graphic Design, Animation, Audio Engineering, Interior Design, Acting for Film & TV and Filmmaking. This private post-secondary institution has been based in Kelowna for decades. Its instructors currently work their craft within their creative industries and have churned out market-ready professionals in the selected disciplines. Many district students have been introduced to the training institute as CAT recruiter Jon Matlock toured various art classes in March.

Admittance to this field trip is on a first-come, first serve basis. Students are urged to see the career coordinator and clerk to get a parent permission form and return it quickly so they can then register online for the creative category of their choice. If you have more questions about the full-day field trip, please contact your school-based career department. You also can reach out to George Richard via text or phone at 778-824-1188 or grichard@sd83.bc.ca for more information or if you have a great career idea that students would be interested in.
