Channel 4's Production Trainee Scheme 2010 is now open for applications

Channel 4 are 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.
