On Saturday the College of Creative Arts and Technology (CCAT) had a fantastic open day which I was privileged to be a part of. I’ll be helping to head up the new Graphic Design course for 2008, including Certificate IV and Diplomas in Graphic design.
The great thing about this new college is the participation of real industry representatives.
Almost all the lecturers and tutors are working professionally in the Creative arts. They’re putting their time into the college because they believe that the course structures will actually benefit their industry.
Each course is styled to produce industry ready students. The college is created to get students work and make they industry relevant in their preparation. Many Arts colleges like to think of themselves this way, but CCAT is actually doing it.
The College, which is located on Glenferrie Road in Melbourne, Australia, hosts a number of creative arts courses including:
- Audio Engineering
- Digital Television & Film Production
- Music Performance
- Entertainment Music Management
- Drama
- Dance & Movement
- Graphic Design
I really think this college is something different and definitely worth some attention.
