NBCUniversal has announced a new partnership with The Alliance for Media Arts + Culture that builds on the company’s commitment to expand career pathways and promote Apprenticeships for under-represented communities in the creative industry.  The Alliance will receive a $119,000 grant from NBCUniversal to provide training and development for participants in the company’s Creative Impact Lab.  The Lab is NBCUniversal’s social impact initiative that commissions diverse Apprentices from creative non-profit agencies to develop marketing assets for the company’s non-profit partner organizations, with guidance and mentoring from NBCUniversal volunteers.  These assets receive exposure on the networks and platforms of Comcast and NBCUniversal.  The grant will also support the Alliance’s workforce development program, Arts2Work, the first Federally-registered National Apprenticeship Program in the Media Arts and Creative Sector, as well as the Arts2Work Accelerator Fund, which promotes entrepreneurship, equitable workplace policies and professional development for diverse creatives.
