Construction of the Geelong Media Education Centre
The Geelong Media Education Centre is being developed at 68-70 Little Ryrie Street in Geelong, to create a dynamic and sustainable community enterprise using media as a platform to provide employment, training and advocacy opportunities for the region, with a focus on young people, people with disabilities and culturally and linguistically diverse participants.
The project includes the redevelopment of the facility entrance and the community hub, the construction of two additional training rooms and a film and television studio, the appointment of two coordinators and the development and implementation of a range of appropriate programs and activities. The existing Pulse community radio station will also be upgraded to enhance its current Broadcast Training opportunities.
Managed by Diversitat, this exciting project has received a development grant from the Federal Dept of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government to assist with the initial establishment. Further funds are being sought from Community Partners to ensure the on –going success of this regional enterprise.
With full construction and fit out scheduled for completion by mid 2009 the Film and Television training courses are already attracting enormous interest from potential students and training organizations.
94.7 The Pulse has an extensive assortment of programs ranging from talk based current affairs, sports and specialty programs like food, health and the environment to dedicated music programs such as Blues, Folk, Soul, RnB, Rock, Alternative, Jazz and Global styles. Tune in anytime, 24 hours a day, to find your favourite program.
Next year we'll be aiming to include more members into the Pulse family with the
Certificate II in Broadcasting. This is a Nationally accredited course aiming to equip participants with the necessary skills to work in the Radio Broadcasting Industry. If you have ever thought of being on radio, or just working behind the scenes, next year could be the year for you.
For more information contact Diversitat Training to discuss the next course.
