H.A.R.T

PROGRAM OVERVIEW HartBeat Academy Resource Training is an apprenticeship program developed by Kevin Hart and Munir Mahmud (Head of Operations @ HartBeat Studios). The program was designed to give Community College students the opportunity to get out of the classroom and into the workplace. These students will be exposed to meaningful on-the-job training while learning (and working) alongside industry professionals in the fields of Film and Media Production.

Upon completion of the program, each student will receive a HartBeat Acacemy Certification.

This certification will serve as letter of achievement and personal recommendation from Kevin Hart/HartBeat Studios and should greatly assist the students with job placement.

HOW IT WORKS? • We will select 10 students to join our 6-8 week pilot program and become apprentices to our group of industry professionals.

•Once a week, the students will report to the set of a TV/Film production and be paired with industry professionals in a learn-to-work capacity.

•Throughout the term our students will be exposed to the five (5) departments that are essential to any production; 1. Creative (Writer/Director/Editor) 2. Camera (Director of Photography) 3. Lighting (Grip & Electric) 4. Makeup/Wardrobe (GLAM) 5. Production Mgmt (Exec Producer/Producer).

•The Pros will give our mentees an introduction to each department and then allow the group to shadow and eventually assist in the production process.

The Center for a Competitive Workforce (CCW), a Strong Workforce Program regional project of the 19 community colleges in the Los Angeles region, was established as a partnership of the 19 community colleges and the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC) and it's Institute for Applied Economics.

CCW's mission is to better align supply and demand data with industry engagement cross our regional talent development systems with the goal to train, educate and up-skill a more competitive workforce for the knowledgeintensive industries that have and those that will come to dominate our economic future.

The work will also address the talent and skill gaps employers in the region's highest growth industries face, and help balance the supply of skilled graduates with the projected demand graduates of local employers, a balance that helps both job-seekers and local companies and employers. Based on the CCW's first regional economic intelligence report, L.A. and Orange County Colleges: Empowering Economic Opportunity (October 2018) the priority sectors for regional collaboration and alignment are: Health Care, Information and Communication Technology, Digital Media/Entertainment, Business and Professional Services, Biosciences, and Transportation and Logistics.

The H.A.R.T. Program has the commitment of five community colleges with very strong film, digital media and arts programs and happen to be the colleges in closest proximity to the west San Fernando Valley where HartBeat Studios is located. The program also has the support of two of the community colleges' regional business and sector intermediaries: the Deputy Sector Navigator (DSN) for the Information/Communication Technology and Digital Media/Entertainment and the Deputy Sector Navigator (DSN) for Business and Entrepreneurship, both of whom have spent part of their professional careers in and also have academic related to the entertainment industry.

For several years, they have offered entertainment industry boot camps for community college students in the region to address the soft skills and technical skill challenges students face when seeking work-based learning and employment opportunities in the industry. Initially, only students from these five colleges will be considered for the HART Program and a prerequisite for consideration is that they attend and complete the DSN boot camps. The DSNs are exploring their ability to support the pilot program as paid internships for the first cohort. An advisory group of committed education and industry leaders will be created to provide guidance and oversee the selection process, which will include an online application and interview.

OPPORTUNITY We seek partners to fund a program that will result in student participation in a broadcast program that will reside on the Laugh Out Loud Network.

PARTNERS Seeking partners who are interested in promoting their goodwill via broadcast programming through their social corporate responsibility initiatives.

Return on investment Sponsor will receive recognition in supporting youth participation and will receive sponsorship positioning in and around the broadcast program.
