The Arts, A/V Technology, and Communications cluster is about flexing your creativity, design, writing, performing, and multimedia skills. Over the next decade, the Arts, Audio/Video Technology, and Communications cluster is expected to experience lower-than-average occupational employment growth (2%) compared to the Commonwealth as a whole (9%). It is important to keep in mind, however, that many individuals with careers in this cluster are self-employed and thus not captured in these statistics. Prepare for careers from graphic design to broadcast journalism through a focus on advanced technologies used in venues including corporate boardrooms, hotels and convention centers, classrooms, and museums. Technical writers, also called technical communicators, are responsible for helping others understand complex technical information or how to use technology products and their employment is expected to increase. Growth and changes in technology and electronics in the home and workplace will increase demand for technical writers. Photographers should see job prospects grow. Self-employed photographers will increase due to demands from individuals wishing to have portraits taken and corporations seeking photographs for marketing materials. Career prospects for producers and directors are expected to increase as a result of new content delivery methods – such as watching TV online or on a mobile device – and the popularity of reality television.
