BBC Expands London Apprentice Scheme

Building on the successful launch last year, the BBC 2012 - London Apprenticeship Scheme will this year have new partners - ITV, Talkback Thames, Tiger Aspect, Endemol and Maverick supported by PACT and Skillset, making it an industry-wide scheme.
For the first time the apprentices will train together and undertake placements across the industry, gaining commercial as well as public broadcasting experience.
The scheme set out to help create a more socially inclusive workforce with the aim of bringing new and diverse thinking to the BBC.
While apprentices have learnt they have also contributed ideas that have helped programme-makers with insights of young audiences.
The current apprentices are on track to gain a Creative and Digital Media Apprenticeship Level 3 qualification. This has been delivered by Westminster Kingsway College and the BBC Academy together with informal development through placements in BBC programme-making departments.
The BBC 2012 – London Apprenticeship Scheme is currently being advertised at: BBC JOBS
