The Hollywood Professional Association (HPA) is proud to announce the HPA Young Entertainment Professionals (YEP) class of 2023. The program, which has accelerated the careers of over 100 graduates to date, has evolved into a robust networking, mentoring, and education resource for young professionals working in the industry.
YEP class members, selected by HPA committee, are encouraged to take advantage of the full spectrum of HPA activities, including the HPA Tech Retreat and HPA Awards. They are paired with advanced career mentors who often become long-term supports as they continue to advance.

I can't wait to see what they can achieve as they move forward and contribute to the advancement of our industry.
