Industry Media Arts is a New Jersey 501(c)(3) nonprofit that helps young people in Monmouth and Ocean Counties explore and prepare for future opportunities in media production. Whether that next step is a four-year degree, a community college credential, or direct entry into the workforce, our students are prepared to choose their path intentionally. Your support makes that possible by funding hands-on training, creating pathways to internships and paid opportunities, and building the talent pipeline that fuels our region's media industry.
Curriculum & Program Development
We work with schools and institutions to design media production and journalism curriculum aligned to industry standards and CTE pathways, built to last beyond a single pilot year.
Hands-On Production Training
From multi-camera live production to documentary storytelling and broadcast journalism, IMA brings professional-level training directly to students, taught by people who work in the industry.
Industry Connection & Workforce Pathways
We connect students to real production opportunities and working professionals, building relationships that lead to internships, mentorship, and jobs across New Jersey's growing media sector.
Industry Media Arts develops Media Studies curriculum and hands-on production training that connect students and young adults to real-world media careers through educational, community, and industry partnerships.
About Industry Media Arts
Founded in 2009, Industry Media Arts has spent over a decade developing hands-on media education for teens in New Jersey. What started as a mentorship initiative has grown into a program partnering with schools, community colleges, vocational institutions, and industry studios to train students in media production.
IMA is based in Ocean and Monmouth Counties, with programs run in partnership with community colleges, vocational schools, and community-based nonprofit organizations. Through these partnerships, including collaborations with organizations such as the YMCA, we expand access to media training and career-readiness opportunities for students and young adults across the region.
Our students train alongside working professionals and have a direct pathway into industry through our partnership with Black Swallowtail Studios in Eatontown. We are building a regional pipeline that gives students in Monmouth and Ocean Counties a clear route from classroom training to real industry work. As New Jersey's media production industry expands around us, we continue to grow a network of educational, nonprofit, and industry partners committed to developing the next generation of media professionals.
