Entertainment Connection, Inc. Places 72 Percent of Its Graduates
08/14/2007
Los Angeles, California, August 14, 2007–The Entertainment Connection, Inc., offering certificate programs in all aspects of filmmaking, radio broadcasting and audio engineering, announced today that more than 72 percent of its graduates are placed in jobs. Entertainment Connection provides educational apprentice programs for the entertainment arts including the film and TV, and music recording industries. With corporate headquarters in Los Angeles, California the Entertainment Connection is the original Los Angeles film school where students learn from a working professional in the entertainment field of their choice, in a real studio, set or station in the town or city where they live. Over the last 24 years more than 6,000 students have graduated from Entertainment Connection programs.
"As a student in Film Connection's I mentored under many line producers, assistant directors and producers. As part of my one-on-one training I went on many film sets and worked with John Malkovich, Alec Baldwin, and Tom Arnold. I loved this program," said Melissa Brown, an Entertainment Connection production school student from Los Angeles, California.
"Once the courses are completed, job placements are typically very high, said Chief Operating Officer Brian Kraft. Our graduates are in the right place at the right time to make industry connections and they continue to make names for themselves by working inside major media companies. Our programs put students face to face with those who hire you."
Radio Connection graduate Howard Parker got his first job through the Entertainment Connection. Today he makes millions of dollars voicing movie trailers.
"During my course at Radio Connection in Philadelphia, I learned about everything in the radio business from news to on air production, commercial making, satellites, and computers. This on-the-job experience allowed me to get a job within two weeks after I graduated," said Parker.
Today finding a good school is more about which school will provide an education that the industry will take seriously and the reputation of the school. Costs also play into the formula and often times it is very difficult to determine how much a degree will cost, because colleges and universities have formulas that they use. Applicants can be charged by the credit hour, by clock hour, or by semester. Then add in fees, books and supplies. Traditional film schools cost from $20,000 to $140,000, while an Entertainment Connection schools start as low as $4,450.
