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

Covering Period June 1,  2008 - May 31, 2009
Stations Comprising Station Employment Unit: WFXD,  WKQS,  WRUP,  WQXO
Great Lakes Radio again participated in local job fair at Northern Michigan University. We increased our efforts to use local publications (the Mining Journal) to advertise both full-time and part-time positions.  We provided opportunities for student tours from local school children through our facilities and even had a day where on student spent time shadowing our staff to help them develop a report on a career in broadcasting.  We, of course, continued to encourage those with job openings and those that would like to be notified of job openings at our stations to submit them to our General Business Manager.
Network and Station Employment Policy statements were re-enforced to all current employees and introduced to all new employees to indicate the following position of Great Lakes Radio, Inc.:
Great Lakes Radio, Inc. and all its associated stations in the Station Employment Unit is dedicated to affording equal opportunity to all qualified persons and that no person shall be discriminated against in employment on the basis of race, color, religion, nation origin, or sex.  There are specific new outreach activities and record keeping required showing compliance, and every person at Great Lakes Radio, Inc. is affected.   Everyone from the janitor to the cake decorator, when classified under the rule as an employee, must be part of the process that insures employment opportunities are disseminated in the widest possible manner, though multiple mediums, throughout our community.
Every effort has been taken by management, including many man-hours of time expended, to ensure full compliance with both the letter and spirit of the Equal Employment Opportunity Rules.   We also intend to participate in the Summer Job Fairs at the local University this summer and continue to expand our employment contact list to improve our coordination with local community organizations to ensure successful future wide dissemination of specific job opportunities at Great Lakes Radio, Inc. and  to encourage the widest possible numbers of people to explore employment opportunities in the broadcast industry in general.  The following is a good example in that spirit:
Great Lakes Radio Stations WFXD 103.3, WKQS 101.9, WRUP 98.3, are looking for organizations that regularly distribute information about employment opportunities to job applicants or have job applicants to refer.  If your organization would like to receive notification of job vacancies at our stations, please notify:
  Employment C/O Great Lakes Radio, Inc.  2025 U.S. 41 West in the Marquette Mall, Marquette, MI 49855.  Email our stations at employment@greatlakesradio.org or phone 906-228-6800.  Great Lakes Radio Stations WFXD 103.3, WKQS 101.9, WRUP 98.3, are Equal Opportunity Employers and encourage minorities and females to apply.

SUMMARY;   Great Lakes Radio personnel attended the Northern Michigan University Job Fair on October 8, 2008 in Marquette, Michigan. At the noted Job Fair on October 8, 2008, we posted our available position for Sales Person and spoke with many students about the option of an intern position to provide real life experience to a student interested in Marketing or Commercial Broadcast Radio.

We did take on our first intern in 2008, a student from the Broadcasting Department at Northern Michigan University in Marquette, Michigan. This experience proved to be beneficial to the Student involved and to the entire company of Great Lakes Radio.

Our 2006 initiatives and training initiatives showed results this hyear.  Throughout the year, we continued to give tours to the public, local schools and youth groups, local youth sports players, parents and coaches as well as organizations like the Girl and Boy Scouts of America.

We are trying to continually increase our outreach sources for 2009,  including the possibility of seeking out additional interns from Broadcasting, Marketing and non-traditional majors from the local Northern Michigan University. We also consider the invitation to our community to give their input on our programming an outreach which may lead to individuals from non-traditional resources or venues. As we continue gathering more effective sources of outreach into our local community, we intend to introduce individuals to Broadcast Radio as an option by their contact with us in these outreach efforts.
