2. For each such vacancy, the recruitment resource(s) utilized to fill the vacancy (including, if applicable, organizations entitled to notification pursuant to Section 73.2080(c)(1)(ii) of the new EEO Rule, which should be separately identified), identified by name, address, contact person and telephone number;
3. The recruitment source that referred the hiree for each full-time vacancy during the Applicable Period;

2. EEO Training:
Equal Employment Opportunity Meetings are held on a continual basis as needed for current education to department heads as to their role and responsibilities in the EEO process. We ensure that all department heads are fully educated on their reporting documentation responsibility. We educate department heads as to anti-discrimination rules and ensure that all departments are hiring in a non-discriminatory fashion.
Each employee of the station has been provided, as part of the employee handbook, the Equal Employment Opportunity Program of KLKN-TV. This Program outlines the continuing policy of KLKN-TV to provide equal opportunity to all individuals without regard to their race, color, religion, age, national origin, or sex in all personnel actions including recruitment, evaluation, selection, promotion, compensation, training and termination.

4. Job Fair:
KLKN-TV co-sponsored a job fair with the Lincoln Area Broadcasters group August 7, 2008 at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Lincoln, Nebraska. The job fair was attended by 36 interested individuals that registered with a Lincoln Broadcasters Job Fair information sheet and/or resume. It is estimated another 10-15 people attended the job fair but did not complete the information sheet. KLKN-TV was involved in a meaningful role with the hosting of the job fair throughout the preparatory process/meetings for the job fair and ending with a follow-up meeting to discuss the positives of the job fair and where improvements can be made. Steve Anderson, Business Manager, was the Chairman of the committee that organized the job fair. Minutes of these meetings are kept in the business office's EEO file. A broadly rotated promotional spot for the job fair ran on KLKN-TV and was also widely promoted by other members of the Lincoln Area Broadcasters group. This group included the 2 major radio groups and 2 television stations in the Lincoln market. Also participating with this Job Fair this year was a radio group from Nebraska City. The KLKN-TV booth at the job fair was manned at all times by 2 managers with decision making power for the station (Business Manager, Local Sales Manager, News Director, Operations Manager, and Promotions Manager).
5. Scholarship Program:
KLKN-TV, in conjunction with the Nebraska Broadcasters Association, actively participated in the 2008 Nebraska Broadcasters Association Foundation Student Scholarship Program. Twelve applicants applied for this scholarship under this program and two $1,600 scholarships were awarded. The winners were from Wayne State College and the University of Nebraska - Omaha. KLKN-TV provided $300 for the scholarship pool, ran a broadly rotated promotional spot for the program, and judged/ranked each one of the twelve applicants application forms based upon a criteria of GPA, essay, experience in the field, honors and awards, and post high school extra curricular activities.
