Yearning to become the next ‘Fred?’

YouTube has formed a partnership with the USC School of Cinematic Arts and Columbia College Chicago to offer a series of new media classes for budding YouTubers to hone their creative skills.

The newly launched program, dubbed YouTube Creator Institute, will begin offering courses this summer that touch on various aspects of digital media, from developing story arcs and cinematography, to making money and employing social media to build audiences.
