ITV apprenticeship applications are now open!
ITV Apprenticeships are open until Sunday (20 September).
Here's our previous Junior Journalist apprentice, Cree-Summer Haughton telling us about her experience:
My time as the Junior Journalist at ITV News was immensely challenging but super enjoyable - I started my dream job and I got paid to learn!
Now I couldn’t see myself doing anything else thanks to the team at ITV Central and my trainers at Bauer Academy for providing me with the skills to work in the newsroom.
As an apprentice you are expected to work full-time in the newsroom alongside studying for exams and coursework.
During an Instagram live today (18 September) Cree-Summer answered some of your questions and told us what positions ITV News Central has to offer:
To complete my NCTJ diploma I had to pass the following:
Essential Journalism exam
Media Law exam
Court Reporting exam
Video Journalism exam
TV News exam
Pr exam
Broadcast regulation exam
As well as all of the above exams I had to create a coursework portfolio and complete an end point assessment.
However, whilst I was studying I was also being given opportunities that I never thought I would have the chance to do as an apprentice, for example:
Working on news bulletins
Writing articles for the website
Working closely with the planning team
Interviewing politicians
Working on outside broadcasts
Working with celebrities
Travelling up and down the country for training and shoots
My apprenticeship gave me the chance to meet life long friends and now I continue to do a job that I enjoy - with no student debt.
