Thanks to Dave from Fire on the Bay, we recently learned of a new web-y, design-y program for those struggling in the current economy.
If you are unemployed and looking for ways to improve your skill set, Bay Area Video Coalition (BAVC) is offering a 16 week intensive training program to help improve your skills. BAVC is a Bay Area non profit that was asked by the city of San Francisco to head up their TechSF initiative to help technologists and multimedia artists back to work. If you qualify after filling out the application, the training is free.
The new training session, called Digital Directions, starts next week and offers 16 weeks of training of Adobe CS6 workflow in Illustrator and Photoshop as well as basic UX, typography, and more. The latter part of the training will be spend working for a client.
There are some eligibility requirements so be sure to read them before applying.
We thought this opportunity was worth passing on.
