Generally Speaking...
One of the great things about working at OPT is being a part of a college campus. There is a palpable energy that comes when the students return to campus each semester. Here at Ozarks Public Broadcasting, we’re also very fortunate to benefit from the passion and skills of the many students that work with us as interns and paid employees.
We have students working in nearly every area of the radio and television stations. These students serve in a variety of roles as producers, announcers, reporters, fundraising assistants and special events coordinators. They are key to the success of our operation and benefit from the opportunity to learn through real world, hands-on experience. As a result, they graduate with a much greater sense of what awaits them in their chosen career path.
We love being able to invest in the next generation of community leaders. This is another way we fulfill public broadcasting’s primary missions of education and community service. Like all investments, this one has a price tag. Your support helps make it possible for us to train and mentor students. We work hard to provide them with practical work experience and to instill the core values of public broadcasting.
As a former student employee of Ozarks Public Broadcasting – one of many who now serve as in a professional role – I want to say thank you for helping to make a meaningful difference in the lives of students.
