Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
In my day to day I work with brands to curate content from the C4 remit that work for their sponsorships, this can be doing things like editing, writing copy, briefing designers for thumbnails etc
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
It's been a wonderful experience so far and I'm really enjoying myself, the team and culture at C4 is amazing!
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes, I have learnt how to effectively write copy for social media and am learning how to brief designers for thumbnail creation that draws in audiences.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Extremely well organised, I can tell a lot of thought has gone into this programme and I don't feel like I'm left doing nothing at any moment. I think a portion of it is focused on self lead work so as long as you take initiative you'll get the most out of it.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
More than I could ever ask for, any accommodation I need is met with kindness and I feel safe talking to my line manager and team.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
My trainer is always on hand when I need to ask a question, I feel confident that he will ensure I pass this course with flying colours.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I believe it fits perfectly, everything I learn in my apprenticeship, there is a reason for it in my role. And if there's ever something I don't feel is relevant to my role, I still feel a benefit in learning it as it is good knowledge for the wider industry.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Yes, I am part of the Cultural Working Group where we ensure diversity and inclusion is prioritised in the workplace and I am also a part of the Apprentice Show cohort where all C4 Apprentices produce a piece of content we have created!
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Channel 4 to a friend?
Yes
Why?
As a workplace, it is a lovely, friendly, accommodating environment with forward thinkers and employers who welcome everyone. As a creative organisation, they are risk takers and I love working for a place that isn't afraid to stand up for what is right.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Channel 4?
During interview stages, you'll get a task to complete. If you're applying for a creative role like I was, take risks, throw some fun and whacky ideas out! Channel 4 are risk takers and they're bold, and they love it when they see you have understood that and thought of some really fun and creative ideas!
