Who We Are

Our Mission

We provide youth and adults with career opportunities in the event production and broadcast industry through classes, workshops, and hands-on mentoring—building the skills and certifications that lead to living-wage careers in entertainment technology.

What We Do

  • Career-focused training: Event Production, Live Sound, Lighting, Stage & Rigging Basics, Camera Ops, Studio/Broadcast Workflow.

  • Hands-on labs: learn on real gear, real sets, and real show scenarios.

  • Mentorship & placements: industry mentors, job-readiness coaching, internship and on-site shadowing with partners.

  • Certification support: safety, basic signal flow, equipment handling; portfolio + showreel building.

Who We Serve

  • Youth (high school & recent grads) exploring technical careers.

  • Career-changers & veterans seeking marketable trade skills.

  • Working technicians upskilling to increase earnings and responsibilities.

Why It Matters

Back-of-house roles keep every show and broadcast running. They’re practical, creative, in demand—and often overlooked. We open the door, shorten the learning curve, and connect talent to opportunity.

Our Approach

  1. Do → Learn: practice-first, with short theory blocks.

  2. Small cohorts: more time on the console, camera, or board.

  3. Real-world standards: safety, comms, checklists, call sheets, strike.

  4. Portfolio outcomes: every learner leaves with artifacts that prove skill.

Values

  • Safety first | Professionalism | Equity & Access | Accountability | Collaboration

Training takes place at our Mount Oliver (PA) location with dedicated zones for audio, lighting, camera/studio, and staging. Learners train on modern consoles, fixtures, mics, intercoms, and broadcast workflows suited to entry-level jobs.

We collaborate with venues, houses of worship, community organizations, and media partners to create job-shadowing, internships, and entry-level hiring pathways.
