Careers in Music: Your Tool to Create Opportunity

We work in one of the world’s most exciting industries, but too few people know about us. Ask someone what it means to have a music career, and they’ll likely picture a high school band director or a drummer with a day job. Rarely do they imagine someone managing logistics for a touring company, running finance at a global retail business or building the promotional strategy for a boutique pedal line. It’s time to shift that perception and open the pipeline to more talented, passionate people — for our industry, and for your company.
 
Discover NAMM’s Careers in Music program.
 
We created Careers in Music to collaborate with educators, school counselors, parent groups and, most of all, you, the NAMM member, to spread the word about career opportunities in our industry. In the short-term, the goal is simple: a larger pool of exceptional candidates applying to your company to help you grow your business. Long-term, we’re aiming even higher — we're looking to inspire a new generation of talent unlike anything our industry has seen before, and build a future where the world of musical products attracts the best and brightest.
 
Want to get involved? It’s easy. Start with NAMM’s Careers in Music toolkit, your one-stop resource to make the most of this program. Use it to grow your local talent pool, introduce career opportunities to the next generation and help elevate our entire industry in the process.
 
The Careers in Music toolkit includes ready-to-use presentations for school career exploration events, parent group meetings and more. And if you’re the kind of person who dreads public speaking, don’t worry. The materials do the heavy lifting. Pro tip: This is also a foot in the door with potential accounts — they’re eager to show young people where they can find jobs. Make the most of the marketing materials to amplify our industry, and your business, within your own community.
 
We built Careers in Music with you, the NAMM member, front of mind. This is your resource. Your opportunity. Your industry. Let’s bring in the best and brightest.
