Remi TV Workforce
Development Program

The Remi TV Workforce Development Program is a free, six-week summer initiative for youth ages 10 to 25. Hosted by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rhode Island, the program offers hands-on training, mentorship, and real-world skill-building to support both personal and professional growth.

Participants work closely with a network of educators and industry professionals, and receive a certificate of completion at the end of the program.

This is a flagship initiative of Remi TV Nation, built to empower the next generation.
