Creative Experience
“The Digital Media Production JSP was amazing! We got to brainstorm, film, and edit our own short video projects. It felt like being part of a real production team. I discovered how much I enjoy directing and storytelling through visuals. I’m seriously thinking about pursuing a career in video production or filmmaking.”
Social Media with Purpose
“These JSPs at Juvenis Maxime let us create a full campaign from scratch for a fictional company. From writing posts to analyzing engagement, I learned how much planning goes into every post. I used to just scroll, but now I see the creativity and strategy behind the content.”
Strategic Thinking
“I joined the Public Relations JSP and didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did! We had to manage a fictional crisis and respond as a PR team. Writing press releases and planning media strategies gave me a taste of how real communication professionals protect a brand’s image.”
Practical Skill-Building Across Media Roles
JSPs allow students to practice skills directly aligned with media careers, such as writing a news story under deadline, recording and editing a podcast, or scripting a social media campaign. This practical experience helps students understand the fast-paced nature of media work while building technical competencies in software, equipment, and content creation.
Exposure to Industry-Specific Workflows
By simulating newsroom environments, production studios, or PR agencies, JSPs help students experience the structured processes behind content creation. For example, a journalism JSP may require pitching a story idea, conducting interviews, and editing a final article – mirroring the workflow of professional reporters. These projects help students internalize industry standards like meeting deadlines, managing feedback, and maintaining accuracy.
Strengthening Communication and Storytelling Abilities
Media careers rely heavily on the ability to communicate clearly and creatively. JSPs challenge students to convey messages to specific audiences, whether by writing a press release, filming a broadcast segment, or developing a content strategy for a brand. These projects sharpen students’ storytelling, critical thinking, and audience engagement skills.
Experience with Collaboration and Creative Teams
Most media work is highly collaborative. JSPs often place students in group roles such as editor, writer, producer, or strategist, where they must work together to develop cohesive content. This teaches collaboration, leadership, adaptability, and how to handle creative differences – key skills for any media or communications role.
Career Exploration and Portfolio Development
Each completed JSP provides students with real samples of their work that can be included in a personal portfolio. These artifacts are invaluable for college applications, internships, and job opportunities. JSPs also help students identify their strengths and preferences, whether in digital production, journalism, or public relations.
Journalism & News Reporting Simulations
Students can simulate tasks such as writing breaking news articles, conducting interviews, or fact-checking stories. For example, Juvenis Maxime JSPs may involve covering a mock press conference and writing a news story under deadline, mimicking the fast-paced environment of a newsroom. Students may also simulate working as editors, reviewing peers' work for accuracy, tone, and clarity.
Broadcast Media Simulations
At Juvenis Maxime, these JSPs allow students to act as TV or radio broadcasters, producers, or technical crew. Projects might include scripting and recording a news segment, operating a teleprompter, or managing audio during a live broadcast. For instance, students could simulate producing a morning news show, with each team member playing a specific role – from anchor to sound technician.
Digital Media & Content Creation Simulations
Students can create multimedia content such as promotional videos, podcasts, or educational media. A common simulation might involve planning and producing a podcast episode, including scripting, recording, editing, and publishing. These projects help students develop storytelling, visual design, and audio editing skills while managing a full digital production cycle.
Public Relations & Strategic Communication Simulations
In these JSPs, students act as PR specialists, creating press releases, media kits, or managing a fictional crisis. Students may be assigned to respond to a company’s public image crisis by drafting a statement and planning a media response strategy. These simulations help build skills in persuasive writing, strategic thinking, and brand communication.
Social Media & Digital Strategy Simulations
Students can simulate managing a brand’s online presence by designing content calendars, creating posts for different platforms, or running a mock social media campaign. For instance, a Juvenis Maxime’s JSP might involve launching a weeklong Instagram campaign to raise awareness for a cause, teaching students content strategy, analytics, and audience engagement.
