Deadline: 4-Jul-22
Applications are now open for the next round of Channel 4’s Content Creatives, a 14-week paid training and work placement opportunity offering the chance to kickstart a career in the creative industry in Leeds and Manchester.
If you are successful, you will receive six weeks of bespoke training with SharpFutures followed by an eight-week work placement to put these skills into practice at a creative organisation in Manchester or Leeds.
During the first six weeks of the scheme, which starts in September, you will experience all aspects of creating and delivering digital content. You’ll undertake a range of courses covering skills such as production techniques, digital storytelling, ideas generation and pitching skills, alongside soft skills such as communication and teamwork.
The first 6 weeks of Content Creatives will be training delivered by SharpFutures, taking place from Monday 12th September 2022 until Friday 21st October 2022 and then the 8-week work placement begins on Monday 24th October 2022 until Friday 16th December 2022.
The training will be delivered remotely online and when possible, in person subject to location availability. The course will run Monday to Friday during office hours. The placement based in the different companies could involve hybrid working with some days working from home and some in their office.
After this training, you will then complete an eight-week placement to put these skills into practice. As well as offering placements with 4Studio, Channel 4’s Leeds-based digital content production unit, Channel 4 is partnering with creative organisations in Leeds and Manchester to offer a range of exciting placements to successful candidates.
