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

1. Establishment of Internship Program: During the applicable period, WWCD continued with its established and productive Internship Program. The program this period resulted in WWCD taking on 18 Interns of various genders and ethnicities. Said Interns have come from local Colleges and Universities, as well as area High Schools, and included some non-students as well.  Interns experience first hand the work involved in operating a radio station.  They perform duties like help plan and execute station promotions, staff station appearances, contact station prizewinners, support air staff during shift and write public service announcements.  Internships average 90 days (from 30 days to 12 months). 

2. Non-Vacancy Specific Job Programs: At WWCD, Internship and potential job openings are listed on our website (regardless of whether or not there is an immediate position open.) Allowing people to see what might be available in the future (or current) job and internship opportunities. This section of the site is easily found via the website’s front page.

3. College Assistance Initiative: WWCD encourages employees to continue their education through local Colleges and Universities: whether it be to receive an MBA, an Associates degree or taking job specific classes, we are supportive of our personnel (with personal planning, financial assistance and time off), and reward those who wish to further their career through education.

4. Mentoring Program: We work to develop all WWCD personnel to advance beyond their current position. Here are specific relationships that have undergone growth during the applicable period; our Director of Operations working on people management skills with the Promotions Director, the Program Director splitting the Music Director job into 4 pieces and giving 4 air staff additional training / responsibilities.  The Director of Sales preparing one Sales Account Manager to replace him by giving him oversight responsibilities over another Account Manager.   We believe in upward mobility of our personnel either within WWCD or elsewhere.  All current key management personnel started at WWCD in entry-level positions.

5. EEO Training: WWCD’s owner, in conjunction with station staff and FCC council, has responsibility of managing our compliance with the current EEO laws. He updates required record keeping, reviews EEO related articles and reports, works with FCC council and has attended an EEO specific seminar in the applicable period.  He is responsible for updating station personnel, either in person or in writing, as significant changes in EEO regulations occur.

6. Shadowing and Partnerships: WWCD is affiliated with the Ohio Association of Broadcasters (OAB), as well as Fort Hayes Alternative and Columbus Alternative High Schools, allowing these organizations’ members and students to receive, first hand, information regarding not only broadcast opportunities at WWCD, but in the broadcasting world at large. WWCD encourages shadowing throughout the year from various area High Schools, Colleges, and Universities. In the past year, WWCD had 5 shadows of various genders and ethnicities.

7. WWCD’s Director of Operations and Promotions Director have each represented WWCD in job fairs (2 total in the applicable period).

8.  Scholarship Program:  WWCD’s owner, as a member of the OAB Board of Directors, participates in foundation financial oversight (fund investment strategy, decisions about the number of scholarships and the amounts) and recipient evaluations (review and score applications) for the Ohio Broadcasting Scholarship Program.
