Almost all the companies have a finance department, so go and find out how the big companies have careers in finance. • This is a good opportunity to ask what qualifications are required for specific jobs. • Remember to look interested and not bored. • Introduce yourself - tell the employer what your name is and what year you are in. • Some questions to ask: > How long have you been working as a ....? > What has your career path been like? > What’s the best bit about your job? > What’s the worst bit about your job? > What are your average working hours? > Why should I consider working as a ....? > What other departments do you interact with in the company? > What other jobs does your company offer? > Do you travel a lot? > What’s the career progression like in your job? > What’s the average salary like in 20 years? > What kind of training opportunities are there in your profession? > Do you offer apprenticeships and what level are they?

    Valuing Radio How commercial radio contributes to the UK A report by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Commercial Radio The data within Valuing Radio is largely drawn from a 2018 survey of Radiocentre members. It is supplemented by additional research which is sourced individually. Contents 01 Introduction 03 Overview and recommendations 05 The public value of commercial radio • News and information • Economic value • Charity and community 21 Commercial radio people 27 Future of radio Introduction The APPG on Commercial Radio helps provide this important industry with a voice in parliament. With record audiences and more ways to listen than ever before, the impact of the industry should not be underestimated. While the challenges facing the sector have changed over the years, the steadfast commitment of stations to provide public value content every day remains. This new report, the first of its kind produced by the APPG, showcases the rich public value content that commercial radio provides to listeners for free. Valuing Radio explores the impact made by stations up and down the country, over and above the music and entertainment output that audiences expect. It looks particularly at radio’s role in providing news and information, the sector’s significant support for both charitable fundraising and education, in addition to work to improve diversity within the industry. Alongside this important public value content is a significant economic contribution to local economies across the UK. For the first time we have analysis on the impact of local advertising and the return on investment (ROI) that this generates for particular nations and regions of the UK.

  • Diversity and Equal Opportunities in Radio – In-Focus Report on the Main
    Diversity and equal opportunities in radio 2019 In-focus report on the main three broadcasters Publication date: 31 July 2019 Contents Section 1. Overview 3 1. How diverse is BBC Radio? 4 2. How diverse is Global? 16 3. How diverse is Bauer? 24 2 1. Overview Ofcom’s main report has focused on the overall initiatives, policies, schemes and data of the 16 1 UK-based radio broadcasters who met the threshold for submitting information about their diversity and equal opportunities arrangements. It has compared diversity statistics of the three largest broadcasters (Bauer, BBC Radio and Global) and benchmarked them against the wider UK-industry. In this annex, where possible, we report on the individual data and information provided by the three largest broadcasters. The employees referenced below are UK-based, unless otherwise indicated. In some cases the numbers involved for certain characteristics and job roles/levels are too small to report on 2. However, where we can report on the data provided by these companies, we have done so, and we also include the information they provided on their individual diversity policies and initiatives. 1 In addition to the 16 UK-based broadcasters, The Word Network also met the threshold for submitting information, but all its employees are based overseas. It is therefore reported below separately under ‘Other submissions’. 2 Due to small numbers and the make-up of some organisations, we have not published certain figures to avoid the potential identification of individuals. 3 1. How diverse is BBC Radio? Key conclusions Of the organisations in this report, the BBC stands alone in having set clear targets for a more diverse workforce.

  • Appendix a Letters of Support from Charter Leaders
    Appendix A Letters of Support from Charter Leaders A Long Beach Public High School James J. McGrath, Founding Director [email protected] Date: 9/20/19 LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR CLOVIS GLOBAL ACADEMY It is my great pleasure to provide a letter of support for Clovis Global Academy’s (Clovis) charter petition. I have read the petition and base my support on the shared educational model and the success of this model at our schools serving a similar population as the students served as in Clovis’ petition. The Intellectual Virtues Academy is both a middle school and high school in the City of Long Beach. The middle school is going into its 7th year, and the high school is going into its 4th year. By standard measures of test scores and growth (among many other metrics), both schools have been remarkably successful using a similar educational model to the one proposed in Clovis’ petition and with similarly situated students. The middle school, for example, continuously scores among the highest of the 16 middle schools in Long Beach on the CAASPP. Both schools have employed the constructivist approaches outlined under the “Transformative Teaching” principle in the Clovis petition. We have found great success with these approaches closing the achievement gap especially for our SED, EL, SPED populations. At our high school, we serve over 30% SPED population, 87% students of color, and 18% EL students. 80% of our students qualify under some federal Title program. Despite serving students from traditionally underserved populations, our students’ proficiency scores have risen above national average every year since we have been open on every test given and for each grade on our sites CCSS-aligned suite of interim assessments, the NWEA Measures of Academic Progress, computer-adaptive, nationally normed assessments.

  • Global Academy Careers Plan 2021/2022
    Global Academy Careers Plan 2021/2022 Global Academy places huge importance on Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) for all students during their time at the Academy as the ambition for the Global Academy is prepare young people for successful careers in the creative media industry. The Academy aims to equip students with both the practical and soft skills required for a career in the creative media industry. The creative industry is the UK’s fastest growing economy at a rate of 5%+ each year, making up one in every eleven jobs. The creative industries are worth £92 billion a year to the UK economy, larger than the automotive, aerospace, life sciences, oil and gas industries combined. The Global Academy Careers Plan sets out how the school intends to provide a fit for purpose careers programme with the available resources which will provide our students with the knowledge, inspiration and ability to take ownership of their own career action plans which will enable them to succeed in their chosen creative career paths. As well as our careers education, information, advice and guidance; our industry focused media curriculum means students are more creative, more intellectually curious and (critically) more likely to demonstrate the skill set required to impress universities and top creative industry employers. Regular reflection across the course of study allows students to quantify their experience, learning and understanding to help prepare them for the industry. This means that our students leave the Academy and go in to employment, education or further training with knowledge, experience and focus - especially within the creative and broadcast industries.
