Appendix 3 to
Annual EEO Public File Report Form
Covering the Period from August 1, 2008 – July 31, 2009
Station(s) Comprising Station Employment Unit: Independence Media of Illinois, LLC - Peoria, IL
Section 3: Supplemental (Non-Vacancy Specific) recruitment Activities Undertaken by: Independence Media of Illinois, LLC - Peoria, IL
Internship Program: For every semester (Fall, Spring, and Summer sessions), WHPI-FM, WWCT-FM, WPIA-FM, and WZPN-FM participate in an extensive internship program in our various departments. We recruited interns through Illinois Central College, Truman State University, Western University and Bradley University. Minority placement departments were made aware of the program. In our sales internship, we teach students the backbone of how to sell radio advertising and the processes involved. This ranges from data entry to actually attending a sales call with one of our account executives. In our promotions department, our interns learn the various marketing strategies like guerilla marketing techniques and learn every aspect on how to set up a remote broadcast. The programming interns assist our producers with our local live shows with running the mixer/control board, producing promotional commercials, and other technical duties. The business interns assist in trafficking of commercials, non-profit involvement within our community, filing, and other organizational duties.
EEO Managers Meeting: During this reporting period, a management-training program for EEO training was held. The meetings are used to train new managers in the proper way to process paperwork and at the same time to serve as a review process for those that have been here for a while.
Job Fairs: Independence Media of Illinois participated in the IBA job fair on February 26, 2008 at a local hotel to solicit resumes for all open positions, as well as educate attendees on careers in radio. Independence Media of Illinois also held a Job Fair at the Staybridge Suites on June 18th, 2009.
Career Days: The station group participated with local a local high school in job-shadowing projects during the year. The participants shadowed various sales, marketing, promotions, and on-air positions within the radio station to gain more insight into the many possibilities of employment within the broadcast industry. The station group found that the job-shadowing experience led high seniors and their advisors to more informed choices about their plans for a higher education and employment in the broadcast industry.
Establishment of Training Programs: Weekly sales training meetings are held by the General Manager and Sales Manager. On at least a monthly basis, the Chief Operating Officer or Corporate Controller will hold the sales and management training meeting as well. This is designed to enable our current personnel to acquire skills that could qualify them for higher level positions.
