Scott Alexander, VP of Production at Solar Velocity, has been providing advice and real world applications regarding graphic web design to American InterContinental University (AIU) for the last several years. The insight offered is helping apply and launch a new curriculum that has been in development for the last year. The key goal is to equip students with the knowledge and application they need to successfully enter the workforce during one of the country’s hardest economic times.
The AIU advisory board is comprised of leaders across the creative industry: graphics, web design, 3d art, gaming, etc. all interconnect to create a true cross section of the hottest technologies in use today. Conversations with those regarding the hiring trends, key application skills, and the fluctuation in marketplace demands are creating, not only more focused class choices and providing instructors with up to date material, but are also giving each board member a good idea of how other industries are faring.
The IT and creative fields see the quickest industry tool changes due to the quick nature of software development and integration. Mr. Alexander is particularly helpful due to the culmination of demands, trends and specific software knowledge that the web design industry requires. Advice provided also helps shape the visual communication department and shed light on what employment after AIU will be like.
