Youth & Emerging Creatives
Career Success Intensive (CSI)
BAYCAT's CSI (Career Success Intensive) trains participants for careers in the media industry and provides hands-on experiences to apply for media roles.

Fall 2025: Assistant Editor​
​​
BAYCAT, in partnership with Emotion Studios, will be hosting a two-week, hands-on Assistant Editing Career Success Intensive (CSI) designed to bridge the gap between creative training and industry-ready post-production skills. This program will introduce emerging creatives to the essential workflows, tools, and professional practices used by assistant editors in the field, while connecting them directly with working editors and post-production teams from Emotion Studios.
​
Through a combination of workshops, work sessions, and a professional exposure trip, participants will gain tangible skills and mentorship that prepare them to step confidently into entry-level roles across film, TV, and branded content pipelines.
​
Stipends are provided upon successful program completion.

Workshop on Wheels
We collaborate with schools and community-based nonprofits to create media production workshops for students. These workshops offer hands-on training with professional equipment and guide students through the process of creating digital media projects.
For example, students from Red Bridge learned about the effects of climate change in the San Francisco Bay Area and created photo essays exploring the city's native endangered species.
