This one-credit class is designed to assist 2021 graduating seniors who will soon be making the transition from school to the workplace as well as those interested in relocating to Los Angeles in order to enter the entertainment industry. 

We will cover a range of topics, including networking, how to land your first job, the realities of working in the industry and balancing your creative goals along with a possible “day” job.  Seniors will have the opportunity to ask their most pressing questions and interact with working professionals. There will be six class meetings; three meetings will be Webinars with Ithaca College alumni employed in various fields of the industry.  These will also be open to the general public.
