Myerscough College has joined forces with The Reporters’ Academy to offer an exciting Media Traineeship opportunity for young people.
People interested in a career in the media, aged between 16 and 24, and who are currently either unemployed or working less than 16 hours a week, can find out more at an information day next month. Successful applicants will be able to take their first steps into the media and creative industries, with a placement of up to six months, 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. Applicants should also be currently qualified below Level 3 (AS/A level, diploma or NVQ).
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:
*Pre-production planning
*How to use the camera equipment
*Video production
*Editing films
*Interview techniques
*CV building and potential career paths
*Confidence workshops
*Guest speakers and mentoring opportunities
And much, much more!
