Kaplan/Perrone has become a partner in Fulfillment Fund, supporting both with a paid internship as part of its College Success Program — which offers college completion and career readiness support — and as a named sponsor of Fulfillment Fund’s Career Expo. “Kaplan/Perrone is thrilled to partner with such an esteemed organization as Fulfillment Fund,” said the KP partners. “Many in the Entertainment Business have been fortunate to come from backgrounds that allow them to explore opportunities in the entertainment industry where first jobs can be low paying or offer no payment at all.
