Student Preparedness: Straight Talk from the Industry

This session is part of the Music Business Educators Meetup — a time for professors, faculty members, and other higher-education enthusiasts to review the past semester, present new trends that can benefit the classroom, and discuss the future of music business education. 

Are students today prepared for the internships and entry level jobs that music business has for them? What are employers finding are the strengths and weaknesses of today’s college upperclassmen and recent graduates? What skills and knowledge can educators add to their curriculums to make students even more prepared for their real-world experiences? Hear from employers from all walks of the industry and their experiences with hiring today’s music business students.

Music business educators have the option to purchase a Meetup Only pass, a Wednesday, May 17 day pass (which includes the Music Business Educators Meetup), as well as a full registration to the entire convention, which includes all Music Biz 2017 events and activities Monday, May 15 through Thursday, May 18.
