Employers

CMCI was created to match the times we live in—times of revolutionary change in the way people communicate, the tools they use to do it and the impact that change has on society. Our students learn to embrace this new world and thrive in it. They are critical thinkers, excellent communicators and innovative problem solvers.

As our educational partners, employers provide valuable experience and guidance to CMCI students. We offer academic credit for approved internships, and employers directly supervise interns and evaluate their progress and skills. Learn more »
