2010 Training Program sneak peak

Radio Arte offers a free one-year training program for youth 17-24 (Winter) in journalism, digital production, broadcasting, and using new media. Participants build up their skills through classes, workshops and hands-on participation in the production of one of Radio Arte’s flagship public affairs programs (First Voice/Primera Voz, Homofrecuencia, Sin Papeles). These programs air live on 90.5 WRTE-FM.

Radio Arte’s training program is offered in three phases. The first 3 months participants take classes and workshops on the basics of radio journalism, digital production, Federal Communication Commission (FCC) rules and regulations, and reporting on social justice issues. During the following 6 months, participants receive hands-on training in the production of one of Radio Arte’s flagship public affairs programs that air live on 90.5 WRTE-FM. The last 3 months youth develop an independent project, which can include creating a series of audio documentaries, workshops or community forums related their work. After graduation from the training program, participants are eligible to submit a proposal for their own specialty show on Radio Arte, or Radio Arte 2 (HD). In addition, even though we do not offer job placement, we can support the search for internships and available positions in the field.
