Training Opportunities with My Source

 

 

CPB is providing two types of training opportunities for stations who have already begun or are ready to take advantage of the My Source platform in their communications activities. This training will illustrate the benefits of using My Source to:

 

  • Communicate the relevance of your station.
  • Engage your community.
  • Integrate with your other key activities.
  • Help align station operations to community needs and values.

 

 

1) Regional Workshops

 

These workshops are for professionals at stations willing to commit to the My Source concept as an integral part of their strategic communication activities. The workshops will offer station examples and specific tools for:

 

  • Developing a My Source strategy and utilizing the resources provided by CPB.
  • Identifying key community ambassadors to participate.
  • Amplifying the passion that users have for your station through My Source.
  • Leveraging that passion to increase support for your station.

2) My Source Web Conference Curriculum

 

The Web conferences are designed to give stations the tools and guidance to build and execute a successful My Source effort. This curriculum of web conferences, held over a three month period, will provide stations with the same expert training and successful station examples featured in the regional workshops but will be open to any public broadcasting station.
