HOW DOES THE TRAINING WORK?
We contract with Radio/TV stations who have current openings and an ongoing need to hire beginners, to train and mentor aspiring talented apprentices.
Our method is not new. It is a throwback to the apprentice method of training during the Renaissance period. In the 12th century, if you wanted to be an artist you didn't go to school, you went to work for an artist and you were not paid for your labor. On the contrary, you paid for the privilege of working for free. And people stood in line to do it with the right master. If your father wasn't already doing it, or your uncle or at least a cousin, it was the only way to enter a profession.
The inevitable employment through our apprentice program is in large part due to the fact that training is always done ONE-ON-ONE. One student apprentice, one instructor or mentor.
A mentor is a professional in the field, Program Director or Production Director of a radio station, for example, who dreads the day when they might have to sort through the resumes of college graduates who haven't a clue what the business is really all about.
Rather than the faceless resume, it is far more realistic to expect that they will hire their own private student apprentice that they have hand-picked, groomed and taught on the job in the real world.
