Many students will not take a traditional path into a career within the arts. To cover the crossover of arts education and the current workforce, we're joined by Martín Hernández, an incredible guest from The 2022 Future Of Work Conference. Martín manages the art internship program in LA County and is one of PCC's strongest partners to date. Through data and program evaluation, Martín has been able to improve and expand the accessibility of work opportunities for students interested in the arts. You'll learn more about the Los Angeles County Department for Arts and Culture, and what its role is in helping students find internship opportunities and enter the workforce. Tune in to discover key takeaways from the conference, and understand how Martín provides support, paid opportunities, and grants so students can set goals, and prepare for a job within the arts.
