The Digital Pathways Initiative (DPI)  announces the formation of a new team to launch fellowship for 20 students that will offer Connected Cloud Campus to Virtual Hollywood employment through hands-on technical instruction and project-based learning using the latest digital technology to create original content. Students will discover their innate artistic abilities while learning professional media applications that will help them secure sought-after jobs in entertainment.  Our goal is to identify Rock Stars & Super Stars for precise placement in the creative-tech economy with living wages, and embedded with executive-level training for potential start-up capabilities.  Our team is in discussion with JP Morgan Chase to enable our students to provide support to their communities at large through Reverse Mentoring. 

ACADEMIC / WORKFORCE PARTNERS FOR REVERSE MENTORING.

The CSU Entertainment Alliance connects the student, faculty and alumni network of the largest and most inclusive public university system in the nation to the ultra-competitive entertainment arts and media industry. CSUEA programs offer accessible and invaluable learning, career development and networking opportunities to prepare and empower students for successful careers in entertainment arts and media.

Dakar Interactive is committed to strengthening and expanding private public collaboration with educational, community and workforce-based LA County stakeholders to form incubator digital arts media hubs that support, train and mentor youth from disadvantaged and traditionally underserved neighborhoods. We’re in discussion with UCLA MEMES  and The Center For Competitive Workforce (CCW) regarding innovative ways to migrate challenged based learning into traditional pedagogy  of the California Community Colleges to create a talent pool eager to learn and apply  New Competitive Skills. 

TARGETED COLLABORATORS 

DPI Hub (The Hub) is an educational arts social enterprise partnered with The Dakar Foundation and in the past with entertainer Kevin Hart’s HartBeat Studios.
