How can Channel 4 de-mystify the current myths about forging carees in media and make our industry more accessible and attractive to a diverse workforce?
The plan that the 4Talent team hatched was to encourage established media companies to offer 12 month training programs which would be part sponsored by Channel 4. Since 2003 we have successfully collaborated with a number of large scale media companies, including Diverse Productions, Objective, Raw, Company Pictures (makers of Shameless), Bwark (The Inbetweeners), Fresh One (Jamie Oliver) and Endemol.
The roles are fully paid, and trainees will receive full time mentoring, training at Channel 4 and the opportunity to establish a network for themselves across the industry.
Past trainees have worked in placements of up to 12 months as researchers, production co-ordinators, junior developers and assistant editors. Past successes include a trainee becoming a Director on Hollyoaks.
Current vacancies include:
Dragonfly – Trainee Production Co-ordinator – London
Keo – Trainee Production Co-ordinator – Glasgow
Matchlight – Trainee Researcher – Glasgow
Waddell – Trainee Researcher or Trainee Production Co-ordinator – Belfast

Deadline: 22nd June 2012
