A central challenge for many performing arts and entertainment professionals is navigating the episodic nature of their work in the industry. For many, survival work—initiated to make ends meet—ends up draining the creative professional and becoming more problem than solution. The purpose of this workshop series is to assist performing arts and entertainment professionals in their search to find meaningful work. Career Journey offers strategies to gain agency over your career.

Career Journey - Act 3: How Will I Get There? 

Now that you have brainstormed potential work opportunities, how will you get there? To continue on your career journey, you will:

•    Navigate labor market research resources and strategies
•    Learn to develop your network to find people and organizations that can help
•    Learn how to test work ideas through experience

You'll evaluate your work ideas based on who you are and what you need to find a meaningful fit.
