Lost Coast Communications has more than ten employees and operates in a small market. As such, we are required to complete four recruitment initiatives within a two-year time period.For the past two years, the licensee has engaged in the following initiatives:

1. Recruitment/Internship Program. Two of our LCCI management team members are involved at Humboldt State University and College of the Redwoods in teaching and advising students with hands-on radio and journalism issues. This relationship allows LCCI to utilize prospective students for paid positions as well as volunteer and internship positions that offer real world experience. The close ties with the students at the University have brought a wide variety of young men and women of diversity into employment on a full- or part-time basis at LCCI.

2. Educational Tours. The stations regularly host local college, high school, elementary school andscout groups for educational tours on how the station operates.

3. KKDS-LP/Blue Ox Radio. KHUM, KSLG, KWPT and KXGO actively support KKDS-LP, a low-powered educational station known as Blue Ox Radio, which gives high school students theopportunity to learn about radio. The stations have provided free advertising for KKDS fund-raisers and provided technical and financial advice to KKDS.

4. Influence on Education. Two of our senior employees teach several college level classes in radio and journalism at Humboldt State University each semester. One is the senior advisor to the student-run station, KRFH, an AM carrier station.
