Kicking off this Summer, the program will offer non-college bound, aspiring music business professionals from across the country an all-expense paid experience in Los Angeles as they go through a one-week intensive course that will educate on a broad range of roles in the live music industry.
The program will include keynote talks with industry players, including musicians and Live Nation executives. To help set the 2024 program participants up for success beyond the classroom, each participant will be offered a 4-month paid internship at Live Nation.
A group of participants will also be selected to join Live Nation’s new ‘School of Live Apprenticeship Program’ for additional training, as well as a 6-month paid apprenticeship and potential for long term job placement. “BMAC is proud to partner with Live Nation to launch this program and help create opportunities and access for Black professionals interested in pursuing a career in the live music industry,” said BMAC Co-Founder, President, and CEO, Willie “Prophet” Stiggers.
