Channel
4's Production Trainee Scheme
The following has been taken directly from Channel 4's website:
Opportunities
with production companies nationwide.
We're
on the lookout for new voices. Talented people who are keen to spend up
to 12 months with either a TV or new media production company, building
the skills they need to launch their careers. The important thing here
is NEW voices. Which is why these schemes have been created for those
who think they might never be able to break into the industry. There could
be a hundred reasons why: you may be disabled for example, or from an
ethnic minority, or perhaps you've never seen the inside of a university.
Maybe you believe that your age could cause those doors to slam in your
face. Whatever. The important thing is that you can bring ideas, energy
and real passion. In return, we'll bring you every opportunity to shine.
What you get
Training and experience. Lots of it. There'll be on-the-job learning when
you're with your assigned production company, as well as structured industry
coaching sessions at Channel 4 and other top locations every month. On
top of all that, there's a generous training allowance of £17,000.
