Why Does a Radio School Use Mentoring for Your Radio Training?

...Because a radio mentor enables you to take the fast-track into the radio broadcasting industry.

 

Here's how...

• You've got your foot in the door, and are making important contacts from day one.
• Your radio mentor has his own established network of contacts
• Influential industry contacts are getting to know you during your radio training
• Your radio training is one-on-one, which enables you to prove yourself
• You're being trained by someone in the business, who is aware of the skills you'll need
  

Your BMG training is not a "pay for play" arrangement. Your mentor makes the final decision on your acceptance for training - after your one-on-one interview. If a professional broadcaster agrees to train you, he obviously believes you have what it takes to succeed.

Since your radio mentor is already in the business, you're assured of learning the exact skills required to even be considered for hiring. Once you've been properly trained by a skilled broadcaster, and have demonstrated the ability to skillfully host your own radio show,your chances of being hired are greatly increased.

It's common sense that if a person is properly trained for any job - and has insider contacts within that field - the person with the proper training and contacts stands a better chance of eventually being hired than someone who doesn't. This simple truth applies in all facets of broadcasting, as well.

• You'll host your own internet radio show from the very beginning. While other radio school and college students are learning about how to become a broadcaster, you're actually becoming a broadcaster, under the watchful eye and guidance of your mentor. Whenever on-air positions become available, your BMG training has prepared you to meet the requirements of the job.

• You have a distinct lifetime job placement advantage. Your mentor has access to influential decision makers - both inside his workplace - and throughout the industry. He or she also has their own network of contacts - who also have their own contacts - all working on your behalf for job placement assistance. Couple this with access to BMG's own broadcasting job board, which will also host your demo portfolio for employers to view, and your BMG advantage becomes clear-cut.

• Your BMG broadcasting diploma has meaning to employers. Upon completion of your training, employers will know that you've been taught by the best-- another broadcaster who currently earns a paycheck because of what they know. Since BMG is one of the radio school mentoring programs available, and the only all sports broadcasting school available, employers know the quality of your training will benefit their company.

"What is a Radio Mentor?"

A radio mentor is a "trusted guide, tutor, or a coach", while an apprentice is a "novice - one who is learning by practical experience under a skilled worker in a trade, art, or calling”.

BMG has simply taken an age-old concept of the mentor-apprentice model, and structured it to the radio broadcasting industry.

You Decide What Your Radio Training Schedule Will Be

Since your BMG radio training makes you a class of one, you determine your training days and times, based upon your current schedule and availability. Need to train on weekends or evenings? No problem.

Even If you're only available during early morning hours, you'll be placed with a local sportscaster, DJ, or talk host who is also available when you are for training. If you're truly passionate about becoming a broadcaster, your schedule won't prevent you from realizing your dream.
