WASHINGTON, DC -- The National Association of Broadcasters Education Foundation (NABEF) is accepting applications for the six-month Technology Apprenticeship Program (TAP). TAP exposes ten high-tech graduates and professionals to the broadcast industry through a two month, hands-on apprenticeship at a radio or television station and a three-day training program located at a major technology manufacturer.
"The TAP program provides bright high-tech minds with hands on experience working with the latest in broadcast technology," said NABEF President Marcellus Alexander. "We look forward to providing participants with a comprehensive, practical educational experience."
In addition to the apprenticeship and training program, TAP participants will receive admittance to the NAB Show, where several scheduled TAP activities will highlight the latest technological advances. Admission to the Radio Ink Convergence conference held on Microsoft's Silicon Valley campus will feature a private networking session with apprentices and a high profile technology executive. Training will conclude at NAB headquarters with additional instruction from the NAB Science and Technology department and a final webcast presentation assignment.
TAP is open to college and technical school seniors, recent graduates and individuals seeking to enter the broadcast industry. All applicants must have experience or training in IT, digital technologies, broadcast engineering or other related areas in order to be considered.
