Once upon a time, reading, writing, and arithmetic were the basic skills necessary for most jobs. But now, media literacy has become the new literacy.

With the growth of digital technologies, more people than ever are required to create and share media as part of their job. Media and communications skills are becoming essential for an increasingly wide-range of roles in human resources, sales, customer service, hospitality, education, business, marketing, and more.

Showcasing a Media Literacy associate certificate on your résumé can help you stand out if you apply for a job that requires the ability to critically assess content for use in traditional or digital media.
