Job Readiness
Are you overwhelmed by your current job search experience? We will help you adapt the strategies and skills necessary for career success.

- If you want to learn about the latest job search trends, join our workshops to gain cutting edge employment tips and resources.
- Through our Job Leads Board, we source and vet open employment opportunities for you to apply.
- Receive individual coaching from an Employment Specialist to tailor your job search based on your specific needs and career goals.
We offer a Job Readiness Info Session to provide additional details on how best to use these offerings.
Please register or log in to our Entertainment Community Fund Portal to access our workshops, programs and services. Our portal is designed to cater to your individual needs and interests, offering access to a wide range of resources and support—all with the guidance and understanding of what it takes to build a life and career in the arts.
