Section 3: Supplemental (non-vacancy
specific) recruitment activities
undertaken by The stations have established an internship program and a mentoring program. Both programs were created to provide local high school and college students with an opportunity to acquire real world experience and job skills in the area of broadcasting. Patrick Welford, a high school senior from Rogers High School was the latest participant in the mentoring program. Additionally, the stations participated in two Business Expos over the last EEO term. The first expo was held at the Newport Hyatt Regency in March and was attended by the General Manager, Production Manager, Traffic Director, Account Managers, Office Assistant, and Chief Engineer. The second expo was held at the University of Rhode Island in October was attended by General Manager and Account Manager. On both occasions the stations’ staff provided information about broadcasting in general and opportunities within the industry.
The following group of recruitment resources is used to advertise our positions. Both WADK and WJZS Radio Stations run a schedule on the air asking organizations to send in requests to be added to the following list. We did not receive any additional requests this year. We did receive a response from two organizations such as Salve Regina University and the Rhode Island Department of Labor/ Network Rhode Island Career Placement Offices. For example, in working with The Rhode Island Department of Labor through the State of Rhode Island, this state-run organization runs “Network Rhode Island” Career Offices throughout the Rhode Island. These career centers have several locations throughout Rhode Island and are contemporary offices with all of the latest technology for finding a job. These offices have computers, internet access, fax machines, and phones free of charge and are made available to those candidates that are receiving unemployment benefits through the State of Rhode Island. Qualified candidates may apply for positions available at WJZS/ WADK radio stations through these Network Rhode Island offices. The offices are open during normal business hours throughout the week and are available on all major bus routes. Women and minorities are encouraged to access these facilities. We did receive two resumes from the Salve Regina University Career Placement Office. We did not receive any responses from Network Rhode Island.
