In an age where technology and media are woven into the fabric of the modern workplace, digital literacy is a crucial element in even entry-level jobs.
The two-day Digital Media Educators Conference hosted by College of the Canyons June 11 and 12, which has attracted faculty from across the state, will focus on the growing role of media in the workplace, and equipping faculty with skills, information and technology needed to prepare students for careers in a wide array of industries.
The conference will feature workshops, speakers and networking events that highlight the growing digitalization of business through virtualization, the cloud, media production, mobile devices, service management and information collaboration.
Breakout sessions in five tracks will focus on career pathways for digital media occupations, entrepreneurship and jobs where digital skills combine with other skills for gainful employment.
In particular, the Digital Media in Industry track will focus on healthcare, science, marketing, manufacturing, agriculture and entertainment.
A separate Educator Tips and Techniques track will address issues and best practices for teaching digital media for business in the community college and high school setting.
Keynote speaker Diane Domeyer of Robert Half, the world’s first and largest staffing firm, will kick off the festivities on Thursday, and Ben Bradley of Burning Glass Technologies will serve as keynote speaker Friday.
