The Panjabi Centre (home of Desi Radio, a community radio station in London) and The Women’s Radio Group (a specialist training organisation) co-operated to offer radio production training to women from minority groups, particularly those from ethnic minorities, single parents, older women and women returning to work after being full time carers. The accredited training is presented in a series of 12-week courses funded by the London Development Agency and free to trainees. It includes modules in radio production and presentation techniques, interviewing, digital editing and programme making. Each trainee leaves with a portfolio of work made up of reports, jingles, features and a magazine programme.
