Among the goals is exposing them to a wide range of agencies, versus just one, said Crane, who is designing the curriculum to include volunteer guest lecturers and mentors from ad agencies both near and far to help students build a competitive portfolio and also meet with potential employers. "You need a great portfolio to get a job in this industry, that's what matters," he said. The program will offer a diploma to graduates, but is not yet seeking any official education accreditation. To find untapped potential, CCA also plans to broaden its search for candidates through outreach efforts to high school guidance counselors, local community leaders, youth groups and community colleges in low-income neighborhoods in Hart- ford and beyond where advertising and marketing might not be viewed as a viable career path to students. "We want to talk to people who haven't even thought of advertising as a career," Crane said. Ideal candidates will need to show- case their talent through writing and design samples and make their case in online applications about why they deserve a spot at CCA, Crane said. "We need to see their desire and passion to be in the business," he said. Mintz + Hoke Chief Creative Officer Sean Crane.
