RVPA is a round 7 regionally funded project that aims to develop a model curriculum that provides the framework for creating programs delivered in collaboration by the participating college. This framework will be divided into the following steps:
Phase 1: Project Kickoff and Implementation Plan
Phase 2: Curriculum Design and Approval
Phase 3: Curriculum Implementation
Phase 4: Outreach & Promotion
Phase 5: VP Curriculum Pilot and Evaluation
Phase 6: Academy Opening
Phase 7: Baccalaureate Application
The meeting was led with an opening by Laney College President Becky Opsata. Representatives from a number of the community colleges participating in the project have highlighted the importance and demand for virtual production career pathways which has been met with enthusiastic support of the Consortium. The main section of the event was a discussion of the activities that will be carried out during the duration of this projects.
