EEO Public File Report Stations WTEB(FM), WKNS(FM), WBJD(FM) and WZNB(FM)
During the period August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2024, Craven Community College (“the College”) hired 0 new employees for the stations employment unit consisting of noncommercial educational Stations WTEB(FM), New Bern, NC, WKNS(FM), Kinston, NC, WBJD(FM), Atlantic Beach, NC and WZNB(FM), New Bern, NC. These employment unit stations are operated together by the College as Public Radio East.
The hiring process for open positions within the employment unit are undertaken through the College’s separate Human Resources Department (“HRD”).
General Outreach Efforts - The College routinely engages in extensive activities and programs designed to promote workforce development and employment and to raise awareness of the availability of employment positions in broadcasting. Two such programs, which have long been available on the College’s campus, include:
Small Business Center - The objective of Craven Community College’s Small Business Center is to increase the success rate and the number of viable small businesses in Craven County by providing high quality, readily accessible assistance to prospective and existing small businesses. Many such small businesses are minority and/or female owned.
Craven County JobLink Career Center – The College is a partner with the Craven County JobLink Career Center, which represents the major workforce agencies of Craven County and provides comprehensive employment and training services for job seekers and employers in a convenient, one-stop Career Center.
In addition to those on-campus efforts to promote workforce development, the College supports economic and workforce development by collaborating with organizations that foster business vitality and job growth. For example, the College partners with the Craven Economic Development Commission and its support organization, the Committee of 100, which champion efforts that broadly, support economic development throughout the county. The College is also a member of New Bern Swiss Bear, which promotes and helps to coordinate the revitalization of the New Bern downtown and the redevelopment of the waterfront.
In addition, Public Radio East is itself a member of the Carteret, New Bern and Onslow Chambers of Commerce.
These activities and relationships increase the College’s visibility among potential sources of job candidates and thus promote outreach generally.
Additionally, a member of the Craven Community College Human Resources Department regularly participated in the Craven County Annual Job Fair and maintained an extensive recruitment listing to post job openings.
