Guide to Media and Entertainment Education and Training

Media and entertainment education and training is the tool to your industry success

By Nikki Davis


Investing in media and entertainment education and training makes you not only a valuable asset to other businesses, but it also makes you an asset to yourself. Entertainment training can help you land a job, improve your existing job or branch out on your own to form your own company.

Understanding how our media and entertainment industries have us wrapped around their little finger will be the start of your media and entertainment education and training. Basically they sell us ideas, and whether or not we choose to buy in is dependent on the people being exposed to the medium.

To decide on the best media and entertainment education and training for you:

1. Determine what your end goal is. There are a variety of media and entertainment education specialties you can pursue. Figure out what interests you and how you want to proceed.

2. Determine the time frame that you have available to pursue your media or entertainment business classes.

3. Figure out what your budget is for your media training courses.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done


Supplement your media training

Supplement your entertainment education and media training by looking at the worldwide impact that the media and entertainment industries have on different cultures.

I recommend: The Population Media Center has a long list of articles on the global impact of media and entertainment from teaching to social responsibility to promoting education in third world countries. It's amazing the socioeconomic impact media and entertainment has on our planet. Look at the additional impact media and entertainment has on our society from Common Sense Media Inc.. From commercialism to body image to academic performance, there are as many negatives to the industry impact as there are positives.

Turn your media and entertainment education and training into a degree

Don't just brush up on entertainment training. Instead pursue a degree or a specialized education course in it.

I recommend: Consider the Executive Education program from the Institute for Media and Entertainment. They also offer digital strategies, branding, financing and accounting as well as custom programming. Full Sail University covers the spectrum of media and entertainment industries. They offer digital art and design, entertainment, film, game art, game education, graphic design, music, recording arts, show production and web development. UCLA Anderson’s Office of Executive Education Programs offers Management Strategies for Entertainment and Media Executives Worldwide through their Entertainment and Media Executive Program. Check out the Center for Media Studies at Rutgers.

Pursue media training for high-impact exposure of your company

Whether the reasons are positive or negative, if your company is in the public limelight for a short or long period of time, you should invest in media training for your key spokespeople to help you portray the necessary image to the public.

I recommend: Let Clarity Media Group help you with your media training needs. Have Levick Strategic Communications give you high-profile media training for your legal and high-stakes communication needs.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • •  Media education is an exciting training path to pursue. Courses in media and entertainment, though, also give you access to an industry that has long term projections not only in our country, but worldwide.
