Mission of Workplace Hollywood |
Workplace
Hollywood is a non-profit organization that assists individuals from
historically underrepresented communities in Los Angeles to effectively
compete for and gain access to jobs and business opportunities in the
entertainment industry.
The entertainment industry and community leaders, who
realized that there were large numbers of people in greater Los Angeles who
were disconnected from the industry workforce, founded Workplace Hollywood in
1998. They saw a lack of access to information about career
opportunities, trainings and internships. And, of course, they understood
that these people did not have the connections necessary to pursue careers in
Los Angeles' signature industry.
The goal of Workplace Hollywood is to provide critical services to individuals who are
trying to break into the economic mainstream of Los Angeles' society.

"I was attending the 2003 Indian Summer Institute at Fox Studios and met Marcelo Bermúdez of Workplace Hollywood
"My experience on Paramount Vantage's film, Year of Dog, was easily the most enjoyable and valuable learning experience within my 5 years in the film business."
