ERIC ED591237: Career Skills and Entrepreneurship Training for Artists: Results of the 2015 SNAAP Survey Module. Special Report

The Strategic National Arts Alumni Project (SNAAP) is an online survey, data management, and institutional improvement system designed to enhance the impact of an arts school education. In 2015, SNAAP developed a Topical Module with in-depth questions about arts entrepreneurship and career skills. Career skills are increasingly regarded as a crucial element of higher education, and researchers have noted the importance of such skills in assuring successful post-college career outcomes.
