Destiny Outreach launched its Dreams & Destiny® Film/TV Workforce Program, placing 21 apprentices aged 16 to 24 into jobs across Chicago. Participants received extensive training, including meetings with the cast of Showtime's 'The Chi.' The initiative includes workshops with IATSE professionals and culminates with a showcase event on July 19, 2025. The program, which runs until September 2025, has seen interest in its upcoming cohort, with a growing waitlist for opportunities starting in late 2025.
"I had a vision and a dream decades ago of impacting the next generation. On day one, seeing the faces of these 21 apprentices brought me to tears because my dream has come true full circle."
As part of the program's 14-part course curriculum, apprentices met with the cast of Showtime's 'The Chi,' accrued 55 hours worth of training, invited IATSE local unions and leadership professionals for career panels, set etiquette, team building activities, which produced two same-day shorts.
