about
The Business Careers in Entertainment Club (BCEC) at the University of Illinois is an affiliate chapter of the Business Careers in Entertainment Association (BCEA). The BCEA is a national non-profit organization that governs a network of students dedicated to learning more about the entertainment industry and getting hands-on experience. Our mission is to provide all undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students, regardless of academic degree, with the essential career development mind-set and hands-on experience vital to obtain professional entertainment networking connections, internships, and job opportunities within both the creative and business ends of the entertainment industry.
To further benefit our organization and those companies who remain in contact with us, BCEC takes annual networking trips to cities, such as New York City and Los Angeles, where student ambassadors meet with company executives in their respective offices. The purpose of the networking trips is to provide networking, job information, and industry insight to the career-minded students of University of Illinois. During these trips, the hard-working passionate students that BCEC represents will be introduced to companies within all areas of the entertainment industry for future internship and job opportunities.
The Business Careers in Entertainment Club is just what the name implies – We are here to become a resource for U of I students who are interested in exploring a career in the entertainment industry.
