Building Diversity Through Mentorship in the Touring and Music Entertainment Industry
Hiring decisions have often depended on personal recommendations and informal networks, which has limited access for many qualified individuals.
To break down these barriers, mentorship programs have been increasingly launched. These programs pair emerging talent from diverse backgrounds with experienced professionals who share industry knowledge and skills. They also provide support to help mentees navigate the complexities of the touring environment.
Partnerships with nonprofits, educational institutions, and industry organizations have expanded the reach and impact of mentorship programs.
Through these combined efforts, the industry challenges systemic barriers and promotes equitable access to touring careers. The touring sector benefits by cultivating a more diverse and skilled workforce, ensuring growth and resilience.
