The focus in the Arts, AV Technology and Communications (AAVTC) Career Cluster is on occupations involving areas such as journalism, performing arts, creative arts and crafts, and media services; however, students in liberal arts programs also pursue such careers as business, industry, government, medicine, law, and other professions. In this focus area, the emphasis is on creativity and communications. Students will hone critical thinking, writing, and speaking skills. They will learn to analyze, classify, compare, discriminate, criticize, and evaluate the experiences which life offers; then they will learn to use these faculties both to develop the principles by which they will live and to master the knowledge, skills, and techniques appropriate to their more particular career ambitions.
