Many
students who have career aspirations in the entertainment field also have
questions about which colleges, universities, or other schools would best
prepare them for their chosen field. Others
want to know about local area talent agents, where to go to get headshots, or
other information that can help them move closer to their personal career goals.
To
that end, we have included several links below to assist the students and their
parents with further research that will help them to make informed decisions
when faced with college and career choices.
These are not intended to be exhaustive lists but rather a starting point
for further research. The links to
other organization’s websites are provided as a reference to help you identify
and locate other Internet resources that may be of interest to you. These other
sites were independently developed by parties other than the Hollywood Club and
we do not assume responsibility for the accuracy or appropriateness of the
information contained at such other sites for your personal situation, nor do we
necessarily endorse the viewpoints expressed therein.
We strongly encourage you to diligently research many different sources
of information and seek counsel while at the same time praying for God’s
guidance through the process of planning for your future education and career.
