Career Resilience Resource Hub
It is evident that there is a need for career support services and programs during these tough times for many people but especially for arts and entertainment industry workers searching for short- and long-term career alternatives. The reality is that not everyone in the industry will be able to return to their pre-pandemic work, at least for the foreseeable future, and must seek alternative temporary sources of income. Workers in our industry also need supports that help adapt their existing skill sets for temporary work and address the emotional component of career interruptions and transitions that feel forced and sudden due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The following is a compilation of the programs, services, and resources that are currently available for employment support, apprenticeships, career transition, side hustles & entrepreneurship, job searching, and where to find more information on each.
