Besides boosting our technical knowledge and familiarizing us with the studio pipeline, VTA gave us an insider’s look at the culture and entrepreneurial spirit at studios of different sizes. This exploration made the world of work more tangible and less intimidating. We met friendly and welcoming professionals who made us want to work with them. It’s a real opportunity to get a first-hand look at the industry. [Translation]

It's great to interact with driven people who work in an industry that has inspired me since my teens. Our discussions reinforced my desire to learn more beyond my studies. I was also surprised to find that traineeship opportunities are quite accessible. This is a benefit since I learn better when someone guides me. [Translation]
