Section 3:    Supplemental (Non-Vacancy Specific) Recruitment Activities

Participation in Job Fair:

In February, 2007, the staff of KWSU and Washington State University attended a Career/Job Fair at a local high school.  The fair was attended by approximately 250 high school aged student in conjunction with a career week curriculum and special events.  The event included approximately 50 exhibitors, including the KWSU booth.  The exhibit fully described the activities of the organization and position descriptions for full- and part-time positions were available for review by potential employees.  The KWSU booth was highlighted by local television production video and radio on-air opportunities.

Mentoring/Internship/Training Program:

This program is designed to give staff the opportunity to involve themselves more deeply in training of student and part-time employees and also gain knowledge in order to perform at a higher level.  The program is based on that of another noncommercial educational station, which provides a model for this type of two-way training that is so valuable in broadcasting, especially in a small market where recruiting and retention of qualified individuals is difficult and poses a significant challenge.  Washington State determined to begin its program in the television area, by promoting the idea to staff and by creating specific job descriptions for the student-mentoring positions.  In addition to enabling staff to “teach” others, we also have a policy that allows employees to take up to 6 credits of university credits per semester under a tuition-waiver program.  The licensee supports this as a way of recruiting qualified individuals to this rural area and to retain and retrain current employees in order to advance.  The organization is just now beginning to reap the benefits of this mentoring program.
