Production Training
In commercial communications, Production Training involves the oversight, skill development, safety, scheduling and direction of those entering the field. Since the advent of digital communication, more interns and students have been expected to have a diversified skillset, which may include but is not limited to videography, photography, writing and interviewing, among others.

“When I attended South Suburban College, I was lost like many students trying to figure out my career. I worked under Kaitlin for the college’s media during that time. She’s given me so much knowledge, confidence, and opportunities that I can’t thank her enough. She’s one of the brightest souls on this planet.”


“One of the most delightful experiences that I had at South Suburban College is to be able to say that I met some amazing friends. People who pushed me to my level of potential that I did not know I had. There were awesome people, like Kaitlin, who said, ‘Tiffini, I see something in you.’ To have someone see something in you that you don’t see in yourself and teach you skills that you use now in your career that then helps in your everyday survival is amazing. For that, I will be forever grateful.”

“From the moment I met Kaitlin, I knew she was going to improve the way I saw the world through a lens. I began to focus more on headroom, and proper lighting rather than snapping pictures aimlessly. I still implement the skills I learned from her to this day. She also helped me get over being camera shy while I put together a vlog for South Suburban College, something that I never thought I would overcome. I will forever be grateful for everything I learned from her.”


“From camera operation to script writing to on-screen direction, the hands-on training I received from Kaitlin during my time at South Suburban College was invaluable in my chosen career of multimedia production. I was able to develop my skills with real life coaching and experience, and be prepared for professional application beyond the classroom.”


“Kaitlin provided me with one-on-one training. She reviewed my articles and video edits, giving feedback, suggestions and encouragement. Our interactions helped me understand why media is created. My experience with her greatly impacted my career.”

“Kaitlin and Eric are great instructors. They are knowledgeable. I am appreciative of the syllabus we received during each class, the instruction, along with the hands-on assignments and feedback…A neat mention was how to take a picture of a moving object and capture the light as it passes. While out with a group of photographers, I was able to get the shot on my own camera and see it…There is so much more to photography than pointing and clicking and thanks to these two instructors I am aware of this.”
