Refresher courses in efficient voice tracking, producing creative impressions, role playing sales presentations and the use of new technology and equipment in broadcasting are held either for all staff or sometimes on a one-on-one basis. We also provided access to teaching webinars.

Mentoring/Shadowing Program Available: in cooperation with the high school, provides high school students a close up working relationship with staff members, giving them information about and encouraging them to consider a career in broadcasting. We have elementary, middle school, and high school students do weekly on-air work in conjunction with announcing school news, 4-H activities and other student related activities. We participate in the Shadow program where any student from any school interested in careers in broadcasting are invited to participate on the air, shadowing our announcers.

8. CEO Program: Students from local school districts, participating in a wonderful program where they are taught how to communicate and become professional business leaders, came to the radio station so we could present to them how to communicate and advertise for their business and reasons why it would benefit them and their business to the fullest. We also explained what we do and the reasons and steps we have taken to get where we are in our own business.
