We are so stoked to announce that the first class of Entertainment Business Management (EBM) students will graduate from their intensive one year program this Wednesday February 21, 2007. You know you’re all going to have your own piece of sweet real estate in Jeff Young‘s heart from this day forward.

The EBM program at VFS is the only one of its kind in British Columbia. Combining professional faculty, an amazing speaker series (previous guests have included Jim Vallance (songwriter for Bryan Adams!), Spencer Proffer (music and media executive), and Jon Festinger (Executive Vice President, Business, Vancouver Canucks & Orca Bay Sports & Entertainment) and Jack Endino (produced Nirvana!!), field trips and industry projects (for a professional sports team, a music agency, and a television and film production company) and in-depth classes targeted specifically at the entertainment arts industry. Giving graduates a leg up when it comes to achieving their career goals is the objective of this program, whether it’s with an entertainment management organization or an entrepreneurial pursuit of their own.

Congrats to everyone in the first class!
