Meet the Office of Cable Television Employees from Mayor Fenty's
Summer Youth Employment Program

 
 

From June through August, 2009, a committed group of young people spent nine weeks learning the technical and editorial skills required to produce and air quality television programming. In addition to gaining hands-on experience in studio production, field producing, shooting and editing, SYEP interns also had training in Master Control and computer graphics. .

Through a series of seminars, interns also learned valuable skills such as resume preparation and writing, employment search techniques and interview skills as well as invaluable information on obtaining financial aid.

OCT interns came from nearly every ward in the city and brought with them the curiosity, interest and responsibility needed to learn and to be good employees.
