Winter Park, FL (PRWeb) March 19, 2007 -- On March 5, Full Sail Real World Education welcomed a panel of experts from The Society of Professional Audio Recording Services (SPARS).

The panel provided professional insight to Full Sail students particularly in the Recording Arts Degree Program, and shared their perspectives on the ideal candidate they look for to fill positions in each of their corporations. "It was an honor to host such an accomplished group of individuals representing the leading studios within the industry," said Tammy Gilbert, Vice President of Career Development. "The interaction between the outstanding professionals and our students provides a one-of-a-kind exchange of information that is invaluable for the planning of their future careers."

"In concert production alone, our graduates have gone on to work with the #1 grossing World Tour seven out of the last seven years, have worked on a tremendous amount of GRAMMY-nominated projects, and have been employed by some of the top studios in the world today."
