Today FM Policy on Work Experience
Today FM is willing to provide opportunities for unpaid work experience to students. We receive a huge amount of requests for work experience placements throughout the year and unfortunately can only accommodate a small number of these requests. When applying for work experience please understand that acceptance is solely at the discretion of Today FM. The following are the procedures under which this work experience can take place:
• Places will be given on a priority basis to third level students undertaking studies in media/journalism/production /marketing and PR.
• Only one participant at a time will be accepted on a work experience programme, except in exceptional circumstances.
• Students must be fully insured by their respective college or school.
• Requests for work experience must be directed to the Head of Personnel at cdavies@todayfm.com within 3 months of the requested date for the placement. A C.V. should accompany your request.
• The Management and staff will endeavour to ensure that the time spent in Today FM is a beneficial and positive learning experience
• Students are expected to co-operate with the general rules, procedures and organisational policies of Today FM
• Students will be provided with copies of policies which are deemed necessary and appropriate for their work within the station.
• They should also be willing to follow the instruction/guidance of whichever member of staff who has been designated to supervise their duties
