try to bring us all together to not only talk about the common problems, but to begin to initiate some form of action on a professional type basis, to maintain a clearinghouse with a talent pool that we know is available right now. People that can actually be

00:00:18.890 - 00:00:37.590

fit right into the total media picture and also to help sensitize uh, the total media market here because they lack sensitivity to a great deal here. What about training programs? Are you after that sort of thing to, we're after real training programs. We, we don't feel

00:00:37.590 - 00:00:56.520

that there have been any training programs that relate directly to minority people. Buy this. Uh, we've talked a great deal about the cultural differences for one. That's something that has to be recognized when you start initiating training programs. Most people have only listed things as training

00:00:56.520 - 00:01:10.790

programs or they say that so and so is in a training slot, but there is no real program that that revolves around this person, so it's a loss and they're still looking for people with two or three degrees that can fit into quote training programs, and

00:01:10.800 - 00:01:24.680

quite often they wash out in 89 days. And, and for no real reason, we feel that there must be some actual training programs that minority people can fit into. So this is what we're interested in. And we also feel that we can design these things if

00:01:24.690 - 00:01:25.860

if the industry cannot.
