Our Education
to Career Vision

BRIC is dedicated to opening up career pathways and facilitating career-connected opportunities for K-14 students and teachers.

Through industry-aligned education, work-based learning, skills certifications, teacher professional development, and pre-apprenticeship, BRIC connects industry to classrooms, giving students broader access to careers in entertainment. 

Our Core Education Services:

  • Industry-Aligned Education

    The California Department of Education’s (CDE) Career Technical Education (CTE) Model Curriculum Standards, co-authored by BRIC, serves as our foundation for aligning classroom instruction with workplace realities.

    Developed in collaboration with industry professionals, this CTE framework backwards maps entry-level entertainment careers to curriculum, ensuring that what students learn in the classroom directly corresponds to the skills employers value. 

  • Work-Based Learning & Digital Skills Certifications

    From Career Exposure to Career Engagement and Experience, BRIC offers a continuum of industry-connected experiences that grow in depth and complexity as students advance towards a career in entertainment.

    BRIC’s Digital Badging program also supports students and jobseekers with standardized assessments and industry awarded certifications for workforce development and technical skills in entertainment.

  • Pre-Apprenticeship to Career Pipeline

    BRIC pioneered the first federally and state-recognized registered apprenticeship program for Animation, VFX & Gaming, creating an alternative pathway to industry careers.

    BRIC provides Pre-Apprenticeship course alignment and professional development opportunities so teachers can better prepare students for entertainment careers.

    BRIC’s Education programs build student readiness for industry apprenticeship through a virtual Speaker Series, bootcamps, and master classes.
