One of the keys to success in business, and especially the sports and entertainment industry, is to have a network of people you trust, count on, and will find ways to work together on projects because you know they will deliver! Luckily for me, Felisa Israel – co-Founder of IMPACT Learning Institute, is one of those people in my network for over 20 years because she meets all of the criteria above, is a great person, a trusted friend, and she knows the sports and entertainment business inside and out!
Therefore, we are happy to announce that theClubhouse® is going to be strategic partners with IMPACT Learning Institute to provide even more resources to those looking to get into the sports and entertainment industry.
IMPACT Learning Institute is a professional development program hosted by UCLA Anderson School of Management that bridges the gap between education and employment and prepares students for careers in the Sports, Entertainment, and Media industries. Through this 4-week summer program (online and in-person options available), students learn how to break into these industries and gain the tangible skills necessary to jumpstart their careers and stand out among their peers.
IMPACT's proven formula of professional development training, executive mentorship, experiential learning, and real-world work experience, combined with unparalleled access to high-level executives, influencers, and decision makers, primes students for early-stage success and gives them the tools to be the ideal young professional in world-class organizations.
