Georgia Scholes

Year 12 TV & Film Student

Work Experience:

The Television Workshop

Georgia completes work experience every Saturday at ‘The Television Workshop’ at

Salford University. She teaches children how to act and preform, working with over

100 young people from across Greater Manchester from the ages of 5 to 23.

At the moment Georgia is organising a show called “The School of Hip Hop”.

Georgia said “this is a great way for me to get into the TV & Film industry; I have

already had a talking part in Coronation Street.

The BBC, ITV and Red Productions approach ‘The Television Workshop’ when they

want a young person on their TV shows. This is great work experience for me and

stands me in good stead for my career aspiration of becoming a Director”.

Apprenticeship Programme

At ITV we’re always on the look-out for new talent. And we’re 100 per cent behind providing opportunities to earn-while-you-learn. So apprenticeships are right up our street. We’ve already had a number of people successfully complete our award-winning programme, and many have gone on to secure great roles within our business.

What can you expect?

Our programmes last for 12 months or longer, depending on the qualification, and have lots to offer, including:

A competitive apprenticeship salary A nationally-recognised qualification in Business &

Administration, Broadcast Production, Digital Marketing and Journalism

Valuable hands-on experience working alongside industry experts

Guidance and career support every step of the way.

Who can apply?

ITV Apprenticeships are a great way to continue your education but within a workplace environment, perfect for school or college leavers. You might not have loads of working experience, or none at all. We’re looking for fresh new talent from all walks of life who can flourish with us here at ITV.

You can apply if you:

DO NOT have a degree, a level 4 qualification or have already completed a similar apprenticeship Have lived in the European Economic Area for 3 years consecutively Are genuinely interested in learning about what we do and the role you’re applying for.

If you fit the above criteria you can apply – but do remember, the nature of the apprenticeship, the salary and the level of qualification would be most suited to school/college leavers. Here at ITV we have several entry talent programmes to suit different ages and stages, such as the ITV Insight Programme.

How can I get on board? Our opportunities open each June for a September start, offering different apprenticeships at different ITV sites each year. We’ll have loads more information on our social media platforms to help you choose the best role for you. To keep up to date with our apprenticeship news and other opportunities, like our ITV Careers Facebook page, follow us on Twitter @ITVCareers and check out our ITVentrycareers Instagram.
