Every other week, WDBJ7 features job opportunities on their segment Hometown Jobs. Sophia Borrelli, the producer of these segments, has featured Virginia Western programs six times now and has an interest in featuring more Virginia Western programs. This is a great way to raise our community’s awareness for your program in a highly visible way!

Here are the segments we’ve done so far:

If you are interested in having your program featured on WDBJ7’s Hometown Jobs, you’ll need to have a student, an employer, and program head in mind to participate. Sophia typically shoots Monday through Friday from around 9:30am to 11:30am or from 1pm to 2pm. It takes about an hour in total for her to get everything she needs to create the segment.
