The Music Education Initiative 


PRODUCTION EDUCATION AND TECHNICAL TRAINING PROGRAM 
 

ADVANCE YOUR KNOWLEDGE

 
The overall mission of the Music Education Initiative is to engage, educate, elevate and prepare the next generation of professionals in the business of music and entertainment. One way we do that is through our Workforce Development Workshops. 

ABOUT THE PROGRAM 

 

Our Production Education and Technical Training Program is a first-class workshop held at established locations in Northwest Arkansas. It's an immersive experience that exposes, educates, and trains participants on production and technical fundamentals and offers the opportunity to work with companies that are in need of trained talent. We are making efforts to offer these workshops to other areas of the state.

What to Expect 

 

Participants will be trained by live performance technicians on key areas of the industry:  safety, logistics support, audio, lighting, and best practices. After training, participants may be eligible for upcoming jobs and potential careers as live performance technicians. This workforce development program gives you the hands-on experience you need while developing relationships with key people in the industry. Ultimately, you'll gain the ability to be hired for entry-level employment at an hourly rate much higher than the current minimum wage.

DATES & LOCATIONS

 

 
The Music Education Initiative will host two-hour "Production Workforce and Technical Training Programs" to address the immediate demand for stage crew staffing in the region. The need for qualified staging and production crews are in demand now! There are more concert tours, performances, festivals, and live event engagements, this year than last year. Workshops will be scheduled in Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers, and Bentonville, with plans to bring to other areas of the state.

 

*Dates and locations will be announced on a rolling basis. Please continue to visit our site for updates.
