06 / Our standards

Professional education, clearly defined

Knowledge is the product. Access is not.

Industry Practice provides professional education, not professional consideration. Contributors do not use the platform to recruit, evaluate or select participants. Enrollment does not create access to representation, casting, employment, financing or commercial partnerships.

Contributors teach generally applicable professional knowledge.

Live questions are moderated and remain focused on the educational subject.

Participants are not evaluated or considered for professional opportunities.

Participant work is not circulated for casting, representation, employment or financing.

No program promises access, discovery, representation or career outcomes.

Industry Practice

Creative careers are businesses. Learn to build yours.
