"What is the YouTube Creator Institute? The YouTube Creator Institute is a new media school for aspiring content creators of all kinds, forged by YouTube and some of the world's leading institutions, namely film and television schools. It provides promising creators with a unique new media education, hands-on technical training, and promotion. The YouTube Creator Institute begins with two 2011 summer programs in the United States.
Why is YouTube launching this? YouTube has always been committed to its original creator partners. The YouTube Creator Institute is an extension of that vision to identify, empower and promote content creators around the world."
