Jocks’ Journal: I’m talking with Heidi Everett who is the General You come from a rich radio background. Have you always had this Manager of the Radio Training Institute - Network. I’m passion, did you grow up saying ‘Dad, I want to get into radio?’ at their headquarters in South Melbourne and tonight’s class is - I think I just kind of fell into it to be honest, I remember the phone just about to commence. Heidi is heating up a chocolate pudding call with Dad (Stephen Everitt) ringing me saying ‘We’ve just bought as we have a quick chat about her role and the school. Heidi, tell a radio school, we need a hand’ - and that was literally it. I was us about what’s happening tonight at radio school? doing other things, studying elsewhere, so I fell into it a little bit but Heidi: I have got my night advanced students back. They were on obviously it’s not a huge surprise seeing Dad’s history in radio and work experience last week so they’ve been into a lot of commercial that a lot of my family has been involved in media or advertising regional stations around and they’re now back and we’re so its probably in the blood I think. doing a whole lot of career stuff and they’ve got a guest lecturer coming in. We are getting into the wrap-up part of the course, all Radio has changed particularly since 2000. My friend Phil who the career side of things. drove me here today made an observation, he said - ‘Are there any jobs still in radio?’ There’s a lot of networking, but there are If you commit yourself to the course, how long should it take you other types of jobs now like running a station website, imaging before you might step into a full time radio career? producers etc. So what do you say to people who are saying - ‘are - About 20 weeks, so it works out to about 5 months. You’re here there many jobs in radio?’ either 2 days a week or 2 nights a week, plus you’re adding in studio - It’s a valid point and it’s one question I get a lot. There is certainly time and work experience and bits and pieces on top of that. It’s a lot of jobs out there but you’re right it has shifted, so there’s almost full time in the educational side of things. a lot of new roles coming up and a lot of those come into that online content, digital content, social media umbrella. That’s sort You’ve been involved with the school pretty much the beginning of where it’s going. Radio is not just about audio anymore there’s haven’t you? a huge visual aspect to consider. There are lots of new roles that - Yeah, since ACE bought it out which was in I think, end of 2002 we haven’t seen before that have been popping in the last 5 or so early 2003 roughly. I started soon after, so I’m coming up to close years and I think that’s where a lot of the growth area is. to 14 years. Somebody comes to you and they’re say 30, 40 maybe 44 - do you The school was originally owned and founded by Gary Mac? turn them away and say ‘Sorry, you need to be younger’? Is there - Correct, yes. a cut off age? - No, I don’t think so. Our students vary in age. I think we’ve got age You realise Heidi, you could’ve been doing a gig on say a NOVA or 16 up until 60. This industry seeks diverse background of people, maybe heading an ACE network breakfast show - yet you’ve decided ages, cultures etc. and we get students employed right across the to stay on and teach, has this been your passion? full age bracket. - Yeah, I just really like working with the students to be honest. I’ve got a bit of a social work/welfare background in terms of some of Well this course is locked in - but if any of our readers or their friends my other worlds out there. I just love working with students and wish to do the next course when does that commence? working with them through that process or that sort of journey - We’ve got the next one coming on May 8th, it’s a night intake between coming here as a nervous little student, young or old, and and then a day intake in July 3 I think off the top of my head.
