Placements
Arena has its own Placements Cell that helps prepare its students for placement. It organises seminars, workshops, industry visits and regular in-house activities like group discussions, debates and mock interviews. Prominent experts and specialists from the industry are invited to speak at the seminars and workshops. Campus recruitment and job fairs are also arranged.
Some of the regular programmes:
Perspectives: These seminars bring together professionals from the animation community to share their knowledge, thoughts, views and experiences with Arena students. The most recent Perspectives seminar in Mumbai held at Ghatkopar in December 2007 was addressed by the gurus from the industry such as Mr. Yunus Bhukari of Artery Animation & FX, Mr. Indranil Malik from Crest Animation, and Vaibhav Studios’ founder and animator Mr. Vaibhav Kumaresh.
