Arts, Media and Entertainment (AME) Summit

The CAREER LADDERS PROJECT will host a statewide Arts, Media and Entertainment (AME) Summit on Wednesday, February 5, 2013 in Los Angeles. The Summit will bring together key industry partners, select Linked Learning high school districts, and Linked Learning community colleges to discuss the skilled workforce needed in the current and emerging Arts, Media and Entertainment field.
