The Grammy Museum announced on Wednesday (Sept. 23) that eight Grammy Career Day events will take place Thursdays at 6 p.m. ET starting Sept. 24 and continuing through Nov. 19. The education program will be hosted virtually via digital conferencing for the first time.

Grammy Career Day is a nationwide education program focused on career mentorship for middle- and high-school students in music programs.

This year’s participants include music director Rickey Minor, who is coming off his second Primetime Emmy win for his work on The Kennedy Center Honors, and three Grammy winners — mixing engineer Manny Marroquin (a nine-time Grammy winner); producer, songwriter and musician Mike Elizondo; and music supervisor Julia Michels.
