Any one of the students you are describing should be able to pick up FCPX in the workplace on day one (even if it is there fist day in FCP). But if it is there first day in AVID they are going to take two weeks to train. I would hire an AVID specialist to edit in FCPX with no hesitation, but if I see a resume with FCPX I would reject it immediately. And an employer in today’s market place has that convenience. (Of course an amazing demo real trumps a resume)

I think your first step is to find someone close to your collage who is working in the industry. Perhaps one of your old students who works for the government. And bring them in to consult on your situation and determine what would make your students the most employable. It would only cost you about a thousand dollars and it would be worth your investment.
