Academy Outreach Program

The Academy Outreach Program is a Member-led initiative to help AV Alliance companies promote careers in the AV and live events industry within their local communities.

The goal of this outreach pilot is to raise awareness about the AV and live events industry, introduce career paths to new audiences, and support member companies that want to engage their local communities but may not have the resources or experience to get started. This pilot is designed to be lightweight, practical, and locally driven.

The Starter Kit contains the following:

• Outreach Program Overview

• Customizable email and letter templates for contacting schools and community programs

• Print-ready flyers and brochures to leave behind or share digitally

• Presentation templates for three audiences: university students, adult career changers, and middle/high school students

• A ‘How-To’ guide for running a local outreach session

Participating companies may select 1–2 outreach targets in their area (such as a school, university, or workforce program), using the materials provided to schedule a session or conversation, and delivering a short awareness presentation or info session.

For any questions, please use the following form for reaching out to the Outreach Team.

The Academy Outreach team will provide materials, optional training, and guidance upon request. However, each company maintains ownership of its own local contacts and execution. Please note that we are here to help you get started, not to manage your outreach directly.
