Great Lakes Radio again participated in local job fair, even broadcasting highlights. We increased our efforts to use local publications (the Mining Journal) to advertise both full-time and part-time positions.   We provided opportunities for student tours from local school children through our facilities and even had a day where on student spent time shadowing our staff to help them develop a report on a career in broadcasting.  We, of course, continued to encourage those with job openings and those that would like to be notified of job openings at our stations to submit them to our General Business Manager.
