Career Support

All programs at VanArts are designed to make you ready for work in the industries we train for. Combining your hard work with the resources we provide is the key to your success, and our curriculum for all programs is built with career support in mind from day one.

In addition to the skills taught in the program itself, VanArts is well connected to the industries we serve and can help you with your job search in a number of ways. We assist our students to find employment through networking with industry professionals and responding to individual recruiting needs, essential for competing in today’s market. Final demo reels from graduating students are often shared regularly with our own database of industry contacts. Often the best resource for finding a job is maintaining close relationships with your instructors, classmates and guest speakers. Student Services and Department Heads may also send out messages during and after the program when they hear of job postings or recruiting events.
