REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE PROGRAM TRACK
Black and Latinx students across Chicago represent an immense talent pool—one that’s routinely untapped. That’s why our Real-World Experience program is essential. It provides young people access to corporate and community experiences where they can develop, create, and produce media-based projects in journalism, video production, broadcasting and podcasting, digital marketing, photography, and graphic design. Through these media projects, our students are enhancing their voices and skills, which has an immeasurable impact on their future.
