WIA EDUCATION PROGRAM

A successful pathway into the animation industry begins with education, both students as well as educators. Women in Animation can only achieve the goal of 50/50 by 2025 in informing new talent how they can begin to integrate their career path far before graduation.

By joining WIA, a student member will gain access to industry contacts, information, and standards in their schools. Students will also have exposure to mentorship opportunities, studio tours, and live lectures given by industry professionals. WIA is determined to work with educators to demystify the pathway from the classroom to the industry by sharing resources and brainstorming what is best for your students
