Media Skills
As consumers of the media, we often take a back seat when it comes to the entertainment we watch. Sure, we have a choice when it comes to what we expose ourselves to, but we never really have a hand in making the content that entertains us day after day. Without the cameramen and photographers, where would your mega blockbusters and front-page spreads of magazines come from?
Through our Media Skills programmes, students will get to experience what goes on behind the scenes and learn how to appreciate the hard work that goes into media content making.
We will also teach them how to deliver a presentation. In a country like Singapore that basis many job intakes on first impression, this is a skill that most desire to have but do not have the means or resources to do so.
