Fast Track: Broadcast Media Sales & Marketing is fueled by the P1 Futures program, sponsored by the Arizona Broadcasters Association (ABA). The program aims to enhance students’ understanding of the broadcast industry while adding to their skillset and resume. Students will have access to broadcast sales and marketing tactics used by industry professionals and networking opportunities with media members. Upon completing the P1 Futures Program, students will receive a sales certificate of completion to show their future employer they are ready for hire!
