PROJECT INFORMATION: A) Amount of Funding Requested: $ 40,000.00 Vocational Training: Television Station Operations Project information: The City of Palm Springs currently owns and operates television equipment that is utilized several times a week to air city council meetings, workshops, study :sessions and commission meetings. Palm Springs Adult School offers vocational training to the community and is seeking ways to expand their program offerings. It has been identified by the city that the television equipment is now under used and is available to train people in operating and producing television programs. Palm Springs Adult School as part of the Palm Springs Unified School District can develop the curriculum and hire an instructor to provide such a program. This collaborative project would provide employment skills which will ultimately lead to jobs. Palm Springs Adult School has an excellent record of tracking students who are employed after completing their vocational program. This project would be open to any member of the community, but outreach will be given to citizens in lower income areas of the city. This process is already in place under other grant programs at the school. The curriculum will also be developed to include elective credits for high school students who could attend the adult school program after their regular scheduled day. 1 The following courses could be developed for this project: Television Producer, Video Operator, Camera Control Operator, Sound Recording Technician, Film Videotape Editor. The classes would include communication skills, television production skills, and accessing the job market skills.

Students will attend class twenty (20) hours per week for a total of eighteen (18) weeks. Enrollment will be limited to twenty (20) students in each class.
