I'm very pleased to announce what I've been working on - the first ever, government backed career pathway internship program for the video game industry - LA Scholars.com.
I ask that each and every one of you in Los Angeles encourage your employer to participate - there is no cost and more importantly - you are investing in your community by providing life changing opportunities for highly motivated young adults from some of the most underserved neighborhoods. We will be announcing our partners in the coming weeks.
LA Scholars is sponsored by the City of LA, the Mayor's Office and backed by the Federal Government. This is a non-profit effort with the goal of creating career pathways for young adults into the video game industry. The program targets students in under-served neighborhoods by providing them training and access to some of the biggest entertainment and gaming companies in the world Read more.
LA Scholars is currently recruiting video game companies to get involved and host summer interns. The program is at no cost to the employer and provides an opportunity to companies to prepare and test out their future potential workforce while investing in the people that live in their local communities in a potentially life changing way.
