NAB Leadership Foundation Seeks Technology Apprenticeship Applicants

Applications are being accepted through June 15

The NAB Leadership Foundation has begun accepting applications for its 2023 Technology Apprenticeship Program (TAP).

The six-month program provides participants with skills and connections through a series of monthly virtual learning sessions in an effort to help applicants build a successful career in broadcasting. The foundation is accepting applications for the technical training fellowship program through June 15.

TAP touches on topics that include radio broadcasting, networking, IT fundamentals, cloud and infrastructure systems and NextGen TV. Graduates of the program will receive a certified broadcast technologist certification from the Society of Broadcast Engineers along with AWS cloud practitioner training and certification.

The program concludes with the participants attendance at the 2023 NAB Show. The foundation recently announced the graduates of the 2022 TAP program during last month’s NAB Show in Las Vegas. A total of 14 students from colleges across the nation graduated as part of the 2022 class.
