FYI

BBC Journalism Trainee Scheme

Monday 6 September 2010

6:00 pm – 8:00 pm (registration from 5:30pm)

BBC, Blackstaff Studios, 62-66 Great Victoria Street

Belfast, BT2 7BB

 

Do you have what it takes to be a trainee journalist at the BBC?  The BBC is looking for good writers, without a professional broadcasting background, who can help them to reflect their widely differing audiences.

 

The aim is to find talented and creative people who might have been put off the idea of a career as a broadcast journalist because of the training costs involved. They are also very keen to hear from people who have ambition to work in broadcast news but who - for whatever reason - have been pursuing a different career.

 

The BBC is offering a year’s paid training at one of their many newsrooms across the BBC.   If you have ever wondered what it would be like working for the BBC in Belfast, now is your chance to find out.  You could spend a year working in online, TV and radio.  Other placements are across the UK - from London to Glasgow and all the regions in between. You'll have an experienced mentor and be given lots of help to find a job as a BBC journalist at the end of your year.

 

If you are interested, why not come to the information evening at the BBC on Monday 6 September.  You will have a chance to find out more about the scheme, hear from a current BBC Journalist, talk to former trainees and get some career tips and advice.

 

Find out more.
