Training

WCR volunteer presentersVolunteer roles at WCR provide students and trainees with a chance to learn professional-level skills in all areas of media production.

Learn to present, produce, interview, generate local content, help with outside broadcasts and all the other many things that it takes to run a radio station like 101.8 WCR FM.

Learning these things as a volunteer also allows volunteers to develop the best skill of all: their own sense of inner motivation and discipline and confidence in a working environment.

As well as constantly striving to both improve our output and increase our involvement in the local community, we are interested in extending our local news service. These are just as vital as presenting radio shows.

Work Experience

Many school children and students write to ask for several weeks or a term of work experience. Sadly, we can not support this as none of our members are full-time, so there is nobody on-site every day for students to shadow. This will be true with other small voluntary organisations.

We offer work placements from time to time here at WCR FM. They include an introduction to radio - interviewing, editing, studio production and presentation.
