EVEN Pillars
EVEN was founded on four pillars to build an end-to-end pipeline from first awareness to first gig and beyond.
Community
Engagement
Through community engagement we inform underserved communities about the incredible career opportunities in our industry.
Education
Once interest takes root, we will provide education to those desiring a career in the live event production community.
Mentorship
A mentor will be paired with the artisan once they have completed the education program.
Apprenticeship
Finally, through the network EVEN has crafted, each artisan will be placed in a paid apprenticeship.
