BCIT Radio Arts and Entertainment Program

Our second-year Radio Arts and Entertainment students had the opportunity to connect with guest speakers Shushma Datt and Sudhir Datta during Brian Wiebe’s Career Development class.

Their insights into the industry offered a valuable perspective as students prepare for the next step in their journey. Thank you, Shushma and Sudhir, for taking the time to share your experience and advice! 🙏

Parents: if your student is creative, curious, and interested in media, this program is worth a closer look.

Students graduate with hands‑on experience in:

• Audio and video production
• Storytelling and performance
• Digital and social media content
