The media industry is undergoing rapid changes as new technologies such as extended reality and in-camera visual effects (XR/ICVFX) transform how media is created. These new technologies have created a demand for media technicians who are capable of using the hardware and software required for the shift in content creation. This project intends to develop industry recognized certificates, certificate training programs, and create paid internships with industry mentors, thus creating pathways for students to pursue high paying jobs with career advancement potential in the Portland, Oregon metro region. The goals of this project are to engage employers, labor unions, and state agencies in establishing new industry-recognized credentials that create novel on-ramps for learners from priority populations into high-demand industry roles as media technicians. The novel on-ramp model is intended to be adaptable to other markets to support the expansion and diversification of the media and entertainment industry technician workforce. This project features best practices in workforce development, particularly the work-based learning, contextualized approach to developmental education and language acquisition (e.g., VESL), the short-term, stackable nature of the certification program, and the industry involvement in development and validation of new credentials. These credentials target occupations in the media entertainment industry including special effects artists and animators, audio and video technicians, broadcast technicians, sound engineering technicians, lighting technicians, and film and video editors, among others. The project also examines how broad partnerships across industry, agencies, and education can support equity goals at the partner and industry scale and connects learners to technician education, career pathways, certifications, and internships that contribute to a pipeline of skilled and diverse workers. This project is funded by the Advanced Technological Education program that focuses on the education of technicians for the advanced-technology fields that drive the Nation's economy.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

随着新技术（例如扩展现实和相机内的视觉效果（XR/ICVFX））改变媒体的创造方式，媒体行业正在经历快速变化。这些新技术已经对能够使用内容创建所需的硬件和软件的媒体技术人员提出了需求。该项目旨在开发行业认可的证书，证书培训计划，并与行业导师建立付费实习，从而为学生创造途径，从而在俄勒冈州波特兰，俄勒冈州大都会地区从事具有职业发展潜力的高薪工作。该项目的目标是让雇主，工会和州机构建立新的行业认可的证书，从而为从优先人群中的学习者创造新颖的学习者，成为媒体技术人员的高需求行业角色。新颖的坡道模型旨在适应其他市场，以支持媒体和娱乐行业技术人员劳动力的扩张和多样化。该项目以劳动力发展的最佳实践，尤其是基于工作的学习，上下文化的发展教育和语言获取方法（例如，VESL），认证计划的短期，可堆叠的性质以及行业参与新凭证的发展和验证。这些凭证针对媒体娱乐行业的职业，包括特殊效果艺术家和动画师，音频和视频技术人员，广播技术人员，声音工程技术人员，照明技术人员以及电影和视频编辑等。该项目还研究了整个行业，机构和教育之间的广泛合作伙伴关系如何支持合作伙伴和行业规模的公平目标，并将学习者与技术人员教育，职业途径，认证和实习联系联系起来，从而有助于熟练和多样化的工人。该项目由先进的技术教育计划资助，该计划的重点是推动国家经济的高级技术领域的技术人员的教育。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的审查标准通过评估来通过评估来支持的。
