Part of Hayes FM's radio remit is to support people's TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT. People come to 91.8 from all walks of life, with their own stories to tell. They can be people who may just want to improve their confidence and communication skills or who want to work in radio, be it in presentation, production and journalism or people who want to train up to play their part in effecting positive change for our area. And they are of all ages and backgrounds, from our area to the surrounding areas, from schools, colleges and universities... being the difference, making the change!!

The important thing is 91.8 Hayes supports people's TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT and we can do it at different levels, from mentoring through to an accredited learning programme, or by just providing a platform for a person to move forward, each to meet the needs of the individual, and because of what we do and the way we do it, our success stories continue.
