From June 1, 2007 through May 31, 2008, KOZE Radio participated in the following long-term recruitment initiatives:

Participation in Scholarship Program – Michael R. Ripley, President and General Manager participated in the selection process for the Idaho State Broadcasters Association Educational Scholarship. Two recipients were granted a scholarship to help further their training in the media.

Station Website - The station website includes the EEO Program, the two most recent EEO Employment Reports, a full set of job descriptions, a downloadable application for employment and all current job openings.
Job Shadow/Mentoring - In conjunction with local junior and senior high schools, the radio station participated in a job shadowing program. The students shadowed various on-air staff. They discussed the duties of on-air personalities – including meter reading, logs, and music rotation, how computers are used in radio, copy writing, commercial production and live remote equipment. Through hands on experience, the students were able to run the console, read public service announcements, weather and announce songs. They were schooled in what is and what is not allowed on the radio and what training and education is needed for various employment positions and career opportunities in the broadcast industry.
Station Tours – Air Personalities conducted station tours for local students, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Lewis-Clark Valley and Head Start.
