Berklee’s Valencia Campus and Roig Arena Sign Collaboration Agreement to Foster Young Talent and Create Career Opportunities in Music and Entertainment

Berklee’s Valencia campus and Roig Arena have signed an institutional collaboration agreement focused on developing joint activities aimed at training young talent and providing professional opportunities in the music and entertainment industry.

The agreement stems from the synergies between both institutions, which share a commitment to quality education, professionalization of the sector, and training in the areas of educational innovation and artistic development. A recent example of this was Roig Arena’s participation in Berklee’s Company Spotlight last June, an event organized by Berklee Valencia’s Career Services Department that connects students with industry professionals for guidance and job opportunities.

As part of the agreement, initiatives will include co-hosting events at Roig Arena, holding training sessions, and fostering knowledge exchange between professionals from both institutions through talks, conferences, and other events, as well as internship and job placement opportunities for Berklee students. This collaboration strengthens the commitment of both institutions to excellence, innovation, and the promotion of emerging talent in the music industry.

“This collaboration with Roig Arena is an extraordinary opportunity to connect our students with real-world experiences in the sector here in Valencia. Both institutions understand music as a driver of cultural and social transformation, and we are excited about the projects we can build together,” said Simone Pilon, Executive Director of Berklee Valencia, adding, “We are inspired by the impact Roig Arena will have on Valencia and look forward to being part of that transformative future.”

“We are delighted to collaborate with Berklee, the leading music education institution worldwide and a key force in nurturing young musical talent. Their expertise in the music industry will allow us to learn from them and work side-by-side in a key area for our activity,” said Víctor Sendra, General Manager of Roig Arena.
