Our Media Production pathway provides a solid foundation for various entry-level positions in the field, and further education can lead to more advanced career opportunities with greater responsibilities and higher earning potential. 

For students graduating from a television production program without pursuing further education, there are several entry-level job opportunities available in the field. These may include:

• Production Assistant: Production assistants provide support to the production team in various capacities, including setting up equipment, running errands and assisting with administrative tasks. They gain valuable experience working on sets and studio productions. 
• Camera Operator: Camera operators are responsible for operating cameras during filming or live broadcasts. They capture the action according to the director’s instructions and ensure that shots are framed correctly and in focus. 
• Video Editor: Video editors assemble raw footage into cohesive sequences, adding transitions, effects and sound to create a polished final product. They may work on projects ranging from commercials and promotional videos to television shows and documentaries. 
• Studio Technician: Studio technicians assist with the setup, operation and maintenance of studio equipment, including lights, cameras, microphones and control boards. They ensure that technical aspects of productions run smoothly. 
• Content Producer: Content producers oversee the creation of multimedia content for television, online streaming platforms and social media channels. They may develop concepts, coordinate production schedules and manage budgets for various projects. 

For students interested in advancing their careers and taking on higher-level roles, pursuing further education, such as an associate's degree or bachelor’s degree, can open up additional opportunities. Jobs that may require further education include: 

• Broadcast Producer: Broadcast producers manage the production process for television programs, news broadcasts, or live events. They oversee all aspects of production, from scriptwriting and casting to filming and post-production. 
• Director: Directors are responsible for guiding the creative vision of a production and directing actors and crew members to achieve that vision. They make artistic decisions regarding camera angles, lighting and pacing to create compelling content. 
• Cinematographer: Cinematographers, also known as directors of photography, are reps responsible for the visual aspects of a production, including camera placement, lighting design and shot composition. They work closely with directors to achieve the desired look and feel of a project.
• Video Producer: Video producers oversee the production of video content from concept to completion. They may manage budgets, hire crew members and coordinate logistics to ensure that projects are completed on time and within budget.
