WSCA to Hold Volunteer/DJ Training Sessions
| 
Are you interested in getting involved as a radio show host or volunteer at Portsmouth Community Radio? Do you have an interest in news, radio engineering, live music performance engineering, music show production, or public affairs programming? Or, are you interested in an off-air role at the station, such as marketing, fund-raising, administration, IT, social media, or music acquisition, review, and management?
The first step in getting involved with Portsmouth Community Radio is to attend a two-hour Module 1 Station Introduction training session. After completion of the Module 1 training, you will be ready to volunteer for many of the off-air and behind-the-scenes roles at the station. You can also continue on with further training modules as required if you are interested in being an on-air show host or helping out with other more technical roles at the station.
The next Module 1 training session is scheduled for Monday, October 22, from 6 to 8 p.m.
All training sessions will be held at WSCA's 909 Islington Street, Portsmouth, studios. Trainees must pre-register for a training session by emailing training@wscafm.org.
For more information on the Portsmouth Community Radio training program and the requirements to be an on-air show host, go to www.wscafm.org or email training@wscafm.org.
