Two groups will host an online event in February to help people starting their careers in entertainment. The Hollywood Radio and Television Society Foundation and Entertainment Industry College Outreach Program will hold the event on Zoom on Feb. 25 at 4 p.m. PT. It’s free for everyone.
The event will have a panel and Q&A session with industry professionals like Tim McNeal from Disney and others. They will share tips and insights on how to break into the entertainment industry.
This event is the first time these two organizations are working together. The HRTS Foundation helps underrepresented people in entertainment, while EICOP supports students at historically Black colleges and universities.
The aim of this event is to give newbies the tools and knowledge they need to start their journey in the entertainment industry. It’s a great opportunity to learn from experienced professionals.
