Myerscough launch new Media Traineeship partnership

People who live in the Trafford area, who are interested in a career in the media, aged between 16 and 25, and who are currently either unemployed or working less than 16 hours a week, and who currently hold a qualification at Level 3 or below (AS/A level, diploma or NVQ), can now apply. Successful applicants will be able to take their first steps into the media and creative industries, with a placement based at MediaCityUK.

The Media Traineeship is aimed at people unsure of what to do next, whose plans have been affected by COVID-19, for young people who perhaps feel they need a bit more experience before applying for an apprenticeship, or perhaps who want support before starting a career in the creative industries.

Successful applicants will be based in The Greenhouse in the vibrant MediaCityUK, which both the BBC and ITV also call home. It’s the hub of some of the North West’s best talent. Trainees will undertake a programme of activities including:

*Working closely with the fantastic team at The Reporting Academy and with other like-minded young people.

*Meeting inspiring industry professionals and experts.

*Opportunities to meet and be mentored by talented staff and crew.

*Attend real-life media opportunities with clients such as, BBC, NHS England, Youth Forums, Prince’s Trust, StreetGames, The Olympics and many more!

*Opportunities include the chance to report and film media content at a variety of local, national and international events.

Sessions will include:
