EMPIRE TRAINING CENTER FOR THE ARTS www.empirearts.org a new not-for-profit workforce development initiative, is set to transform the vocational training landscape of technical and administrative jobs in the performing arts. This innovative program will be housed at the historic Chance Theater in the City of Poughkeepsie and is designed specifically for adults seeking careers in the performing arts.
ETCA, co-founded by arts leaders and City of Poughkeepsie residents Trish Santini and Frank Butler, was developed in response to the urgent need for training opportunities for communities
that are historically underrepresented in the performing arts. The program will prepare a new generation of arts professionals for meaningful careers, contributing to a more equitable and
inclusive arts and culture sector. Additionally, it provides an accessible, high-quality education for adults seeking an alternative to traditional college degrees. The 10-month, 3-day-a-week
workforce program offers a comprehensive approach and curriculum: skills-based and experiential training, values-driven learning, industry relationship building, mental health habits,
cultural experiences, and employment placement.
