The Promise Career Institute is a proud partner of the ATL Aviation Education Foundation. As a partner school we had the privilege to participate in The ATL Aviation Hispanic Heritage Month program. This is an exciting annual initiative designed to inspire Latin American high school students to explore aviation careers. Our students enjoyed a behind-the-scenes Airport Tour with exclusive access and insights, followed by a mentoring luncheon with Hispanic aviation leaders. Students left with valuable career advice, inspiration, and a themed SWAG bag from the ATL Education Foundation. We’re thrilled to partner with ATL Aviation Education Foundation on this impactful program, helping our students explore aviation careers and achieve their goals.

Our Design and Media students recently had an amazing time at the CineGear ATL Expo held at Trilith Studios! This event was a fantastic opportunity for them to dive into the world of filmmaking, meet industry legends, and explore the latest in cinematic technology. During the expo, students attended engaging panel discussions and hands-on workshops led by experts from the International Cinematographer's Guild, the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC), and top film tech brands. It was a great chance for them to gain valuable insights and make connections that could benefit their future careers. One of the highlights was exploring the impressive LED wall stage, where they got to check out cutting-edge cameras, lighting rigs, and post-production tools. By the end of the day, our students left feeling inspired and excited about the many possibilities that await them in the filmmaking industry!
