In 2012, Hollywood CPR and Workplace Hollywood combined their resources to continue to provide the entertainment industry with diverse crew and production employees who are trained by union professionals in the skills and work habits most desired by industry employers. Workplace Hollywood awarded Hollywood CPR a grant to expand its program and together they worked with the unions to introduce new course pathways for students in Local 80 Grips/Craftservice, Local 600 Camera, Local 700 Editors, Local 705 Costume, Local 706 Make-up, Local 728 Set Lighting, Local 729 Set Painters, and Local 800 Scenic/Graphic Artists in addition to Hollywood CPR’s original coursework in Local 44 Prop Makers, Set Dressers, Upholstery/Drapery, and Greens. In 2001, Hollywood CPR began discussions with Workplace Hollywood, an organization whose mission was to ensure that historically underrepresented and economically disadvantaged communities in Los Angeles can effectively compete for and gain access to jobs and business opportunities within the entertainment industry. Kevin and Laura both became full-time tenured faculty at the College and oversee all of the craft classes. By enrolling in college accredited courses they are eligible for tutoring, counseling, financial aid and all the resources the community college offers. This has provided tremendous opportunities for the students. In 1998, Hollywood CPR established a partnership with West Los Angeles College which now offers Hollywood CPR students college credit and a Film/TV Production Crafts Certificate upon completion of the training program. Many schools, non-profit organizations, and training centers provide instruction in all other aspects of film and television, like writing, directing, editing, producing, and cinematography, but no programs were providing students – especially underserved individuals – with the skills needed to compete for jobs in the craft and technician areas of the industry. This program was designed to fill a void that exists in training for union trade and craft skills like prop making, set dressing, and construction, among others.

Together, they developed the Hollywood CPR Entertainment Arts Training Program to provide hands-on experience to students who wanted to learn the trade skills of the entertainment industry.
