Long-Term Recruitment Initiatives
(1) Participated in programs designed to promote outreach generally (vi)-
Our Director of Production helped an area high school by assisting a teacher in teaching a class about production and broadcasting. The students learned how to shoot, edit, and produce videos along with learning about different equipment used in the broadcasting field. This outreach service was another opportunity for Smoky Hills Public Television to discuss and promote the field of broadcasting.
Smoky Hills Public Television has training opportunities for our staff to learn new skills that may help them qualify for higher-level positions. When budget allows, Smoky Hills Public Television encourages staff to travel to conferences. Among these include PBS development conference and KAB conference. Last year, Smoky Hills Public Television sent five people to PBS development conference and six people to KAB conference.
(3) Provided training to management level personnel as to methods of ensuring equal employment opportunities and preventing discrimination (xiv)-
All management level personnel undergo consistent training as it relates to EEO and preventing discrimination. All new employees are required to watch a video of a taped training session presented by a professional on methods of ensuring the prevention of discrimination and sexual harassment in the workplace. In addition, all those involved with the interviewing and hiring of new employees must meet with the Human Resource director to discuss the discrimination policies that are in place at Smoky Hills Public Television. The Human Resource director is also beginning to revise our employee handbook to include Smoky Hills Public Television’s current discrimination and sexual harassment policies.
(4) Participated in activities that further disseminated information as to employment opportunities in broadcasting (xvi)-
Tours of Smoky Hills Public Television’s facilities and equipment are regularly given to community members and station volunteers. This past year, several of our staff members gave tours during our city’s annual celebration to all those interested. The tours include information about jobs that are performed by station personnel, how some of the broadcasting equipment works, and general information about careers in the broadcasting field.
