INTERNSHIPS
WEEU works with
college interns in the fall and winter semesters. The interns have
an opportunity to learn skills in a variety of radio positions from
news-writing to promotions, sales and production. The intern is
typically in his or her senior year of college. WEEU will work with
the intern to help them meet the requirements necessary to get
credits for the internship for the college if it offers such a
program. The internship usually requires approximately 30 hours a
week. WEEU also offers ‘shadow’ opportunities to students who seek
them for school projects or career programs. These are typically
one day experiences shadowing a professional at the radio station.
These are unpaid internships.
During this period WEEU directed 1 high school student through our
modified internship program which allowed the student to engage in
six days, once per week for six weeks, of hands-on radio
broadcasting experience. The intern learned all aspects of on-air
work including news, board operation, commercial production, show
hosting, and show production.
TRAINING PROGRAMS
During the time period of this report, (52 weeks), WEEU continued
working with students from various regional high schools, providing
them with a hands-on opportunity to participate in all aspects of
the actual live talk-radio broadcast of a weekly show for and about
teens. Known as “RADIO VOICES” this weekly, one-hour
talk-radio show involves students with every aspect of the show
including pre-production, selection of topics, board operation,
panelist duties, interaction with listeners/callers, and follow
through. The opportunity provides a realistic training opportunity,
allowing students to consider whether or not a career in this field
might be something they want to pursue beyond high school.
(30 students)
SCHOLARSHIPS
In March of 2009 WEEU offered and awarded a $250.00 cash
scholarship. The scholarship is available to one of the students who
regularly participated in WEEU ’s weekly ‘RADIO VOICES’
talk-radio program for teens during the previous year. By their
involvement with the radio show and a through a review process with
the show’s one adult host who administers the program, as well as
the one overall VOICES radio and print adult administrator,
candidates had to demonstrate a desire to pursue a career in
broadcasting or communications, and needed to have had a solid
record of enthusiastic participation on WEEU’s Radio Voices Teen
Panel Talk Show.
WEEU
Radio Narrative Statement
A review of WEEU’s outreach initiatives will
demonstrate a firm commitment to interaction with the community in
ways that include mentoring students, participating in job fairs,
conducting broadcast learning seminars, offering internships and
scholarships, and producing a weekly teen radio talk show for
students from all school districts in the community.
WEEU is very pleased with the results of our weekly
teen talk radio program, RADIO VOICES, as this effort has
given the students actual hands-on experience with all aspects of
producing and participating in a weekly radio talk show. As an
added bonus, the show is popular with teen and adult callers, and as
such, it gives the students an opportunity to think on their feet as
they field calls that generally center on a topic of the week.
There is generally a panel of three to four teens on the show each
week. Most participants are juniors and seniors in high school.
This sort of effort on the part of WEEU and its
employees provides broad outreach and realistic opportunities to
persons in the community who may be interested in a broadcasting
career.
WEEU is an equal opportunity employer. It is the
policy of WEEU to provide equal employment opportunity to all
qualified individuals without regard to their race, color, religion,
national origin, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation or any
other characteristic protected by law, in all personnel actions.
