"NIC WANTS YOU!!!

 On Wednesday, August 22, 2007, and Thursday, August 23, 2007, the National Institute of Corrections will unveil via satellite/Internet broadcast a new training strategy for facilitators to conduct public and media relations training in their regional locations. This training strategy encompasses a "blended learning" approach using various distance technologies and classroom based media interview simulations. These Interviewing Practicals include equipment normally used (e.g., lights, cameras, and microphones) by the media.

How can you help? Become a facilitation team of 3-5 persons to conduct skill-building training sessions in their regional locations. The team should consist of at least one person who has completed NIC's Public and Media Relations training program or who has experience as a Public Relations Officer, a trainer, and a technology person. The team will organize and facilitate the practical interviewing sessions for NIC's new training series.
