Launched in May 2024 by the LA County Department of Arts and Culture, the Media Career Pathways Prototype explores pathways to visual effects, gaming, animation, and music production careers for LA County for youth who have historically experienced barriers to employment.

The Media Career Pathways Prototype will engage approximately 20 opportunity youth and/or systems-impacted transitional age youth (TAY), ages 18-24, who will participate in industry aligned, hard skills training in Media Arts (post-production and editing, visual effects, gaming, animation, music production, digital communications, and/or multimedia production), and general career soft skills training in a community setting. Participants will be provided with technology and equipment and a paid stipend for completing at least 80% of the program.

The Media Career Pathways Prototype is led by and takes place at the Watts Labor Community Action Committee (WLCAC).
