Introducing the 2025 Casting Society Cares Casting Assistant Pathway Program Cohort
We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of the Casting Society Cares (CSC) 2025 Casting Assistant Pathway Program (CAPP). Ten students from across the country were selected from the application pool to participate in this exclusive program, and the future of casting is looking bright.
The mission of CAPP is to create a pathway for future casting professionals through the CSC Training & Education Program to the CSA Mentorship Program with the purpose of creating access at every level and to foster community within the profession of casting.
