Memorable Experiences
During his work term with Arts Club Theatre Company as a Digital Project Coordinator, Nick lists his most memorable experience as collaborating with one of Arts Club’s production sponsors on a promotion giveaway. Nick was in charge of filming and editing a promotional video for Helijet, a helicopter service company in Vancouver, with Arts Club’s Executive Director as the main feature. This project gave Nick a unique chance to experience a round-trip helicopter ride from Vancouver to Nanaimo. As a result of this campaign, both companies saw positive feedback on social media and gained a significant number of new followers.
Connection to Studies
Between his studies, co-op terms, and future career potential, the connections that Nick has made revolve around three key words: content, strategy, and storytelling. By gaining experience in these three areas through co-op and in school as a Media Studies student, Nick has learned that he enjoys many aspects of digital marketing and content creation, and he believes that these are very much potential endeavours in his future career paths.
Benefits of Co-op Now and in the Future
Nick states that Arts Co-op helped and guided him tremendously in not only landing his work term, but also setting him up for success in the workplace through its valuable resources and training material on the Hub student website. He adds, “Applying to jobs through Symplicity was a source of reassurance that gave me the motivation to apply with added confidence knowing I was part of a respected program.” Moving forward, Nick believes that the opportunities and knowledge he acquired through co-op will play a significant role in alleviating the daunting and rigorous process of employment upon graduation.
