Work experience... I hated it; I had to work in Boots The Chemist and it was awful.
However, as a station we have an active plan for Work Experience for you or, if you are a teacher, your pupils.
We have successfully shepherded a work experience peep from Ripon Grammar School, who still broadcasts with us. Hannah is an extraordinary young woman and I am happy to have helped her along. I was so buoyed by her viral enthusiasm that we have thrown open the doors and now welcome pupils form all of the schools in Harrogate and area.
I would interject that it was Hannah B who initiated the contact with the station.
So, who is it we are after and who is it we can help?
They will be treated like all of the other hosts; as an adult but they will be given complete creative freedom. They will have to brainstorm and think of their own show as if they were in the work place. I am not going to lie; it is down to the calibre of the student as to how well the project progresses.
They will learn:
- How to manage their time
- How to brainstorm and come up with a concept for a show
- The very basics of recording their voice
- How to select a playlist
- How to research a field of interest that fascinates them
They will gain so much more.
Face to face contact is not necessary. We can do this remotely on Zoom or Skype. The young woman I mention, Hannah, lives in Lincolnshire because she is a boarder at RGS - we met up every day, as I will with your student, online to get and give feedback.
So, if you know someone who can accept constructive criticism and has a passion for a heart felt cause send them my way - I can be reached at [email protected]
