Production Fast Track Apprenticeship
BBC
The BBC’s Production apprenticeship could be your chance to turn your passion for telling stories into a job that you love. We’re looking for our next apprentice at BBC Radio Kent. In September 2023 we will welcome hundreds of new apprentices into the BBC, why shouldn’t one of them be you?
Whether it’s telling important, or previously untold, stories in the national or global news that excite you; or if it’s bringing to light the issues that affect you and your community, the BBC is a place where you can turn those ideas into something great for any of our TV, radio or online platforms.
Maybe you’re someone bursting with the ideas or, perhaps, you’re the person that loves planning and organising and bringing those ideas to life. Whichever part of storytelling gives you a buzz, there’s a place for you at the BBC.
The BBC is a gold standard apprenticeship provider and has been delivering successful schemes for over a decade. This could be your chance to work for the world’s biggest broadcaster. Check it out @BBCGetIn.
BBC Radio Kent’s Fast Track Production Apprenticeship is for anyone from aged 18 upwards - school leavers through to career changers and anything in-between! Vacancies on all schemes are open now, right across the UK nations and regions.
The BBC was recently named as Large Employer of the Year at the BAME Apprenticeship Awards 2021 and is ranked 8 in the Times Graduate Employer of the Year list. It is part of the BBC’s commitment to transforming its workforce to welcome more apprentices year on year.
