INITIATIVES
The employment unit engaged in the following broad outreach initiatives in accordance with various elements of FCC Rule 73.2080(c)(2):
| Established an internship program designed to assist members of the community to acquire skills needed for broadcast employment. | WDVX continued to develop its internship programs with local colleges, universities, and high schools. During the reporting period five University of Tennessee students and two Pellissippi State Community College students participated in internships. The students trained as sound support technicians for our live radio show The Blue Plate Special, helped expand the program’s social media reach, assisted on other live show projects, participated in marketing projects for the station and performed market research. An area high school student observed live radio show production throughout the summer. |
| Participated in job fairs by station personnel who have substantial responsibility in making hiring decisions. | WDVX General Manager participated in the University of Tennessee College of Communications Job and Intern Fair on October 24, 2012 at the University of Tennessee Ballroom. Our goal was to enlist students of electronic media who may be interested in internships with our organization. We received numerous qualified applicants for internships but accepted two for the semester. |
| Participated in job banks, internet programs, and other programs designed to promote outreach generally (i.e., that are not primarily directed to providing notification of specific job vacancies). | WDVX participated on September 18, 2012 in the Call-2-Service Volunteer Resource Fair held by Pellissippi State Community College. WDVX promotes internships and volunteer production assistant positions through UT’S “Hire-A-Vol” on line job bank. WDVX sends internship and volunteer information to the Knoxville Arts and Culture Alliance, which sends member arts and culture organizations a monthly e-newsletter. |
