CREATE ·2024 Grants ChallengeGet Lit Creative Career Lab
Get Lit’s Creative Career Lab will train at least 50 NEET Angelenos (Not in Education, Employment or Training) ages 18 to 24 in marketable skills in various creative fields, with the goal of placing them in paid employment with our partners in the entertainment and nonprofit fields. The majority of participants will be from groups traditionally underrepresented in media, including BIPOC people and women. They will receive professional-level training, hands-on workforce preparation, development of portfolios, and networking opportunities.
