Apple is hosting 50 students from 19 historically Black colleges and universities for an immersive two-week experience as part of the Propel Center‘s arts and entertainment industry accelerator.
Apple and Southern Company are the founding partners of Propel Center, launched in 2011 as a hub designed to support and advance the work of HBCUs.The organization’s 2024 Arts & Entertainment Industry Accelerator program is a year-long experience launched exclusively for HBCU students, designed to create greater diversity in the arts and entertainment industry.
The Propel Center’s arts and entertainment accelerator kicks off at Tennessee State University in Nashville, Tenn., on June 10, and concludes at Atlanta’s Clark Atlanta University the week of June 16. Students also will be invited to participate in career conversations and resume-building workshops, and spend time with industry experts at the Apple Music offices and Apple’s retail store location in Nashville. Participants will use Apple technology and tools to create music, design album art, and “tell their stories through digital marketing,” according to Propel Center’s announcement.
