The EIF Careers Program is a founding member of this coalition of industry-connected workforce, advocacy, government, and labor partners committed to ensuring equity and access to careers in the arts, media, and entertainment (AME) industries for historically excluded and underrepresented groups.
On May 16, 2024, the EEA brought together 1,400+ high school and college students (ages 16-24) to experience a free interactive career exploration event at Expo Park in Los Angeles. The Expo featured 35+ Arts, Media, and Entertainment (AME) workforce training organizations, postsecondary career education programs, labor union training programs, and employer-sponsored internship and early career programs.
A panel discussion was hosted by the California Film Commission, featuring the cast and crew of the biographical sports film Sweetwater (2023).
Union demonstrations from various International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) Locals introduced students to their crafts.
Resume and portfolio reviews were provided by seasoned industry professionals.
EEA exists because of a collective vision to build a more inclusive, equitable, and diverse entertainment industry. It aims to establish a stronger school-to-career pipeline by bolstering work-based learning opportunities and enhancing career exposure and education for youth and historically excluded communities.
