"This apprenticeship allows me an insight into the media field, and a chance to contribute to something substantive, progressive, and important. Telly has played a significant role in my life and the shaping of my identity, and I’m glad to be supporting an inspiring team doing important work that ensures it can continue to do this for others." - Robin Hubbard-Brown – Channel 4 Creative Diversity apprentice.

I felt that it would be better for me to apply for an apprenticeship as it gives me the opportunity to network, form connections and experience real industry situations rather than simulated experiences created within university.” – Paula Oyemike – Channel 4 Commissioning Operations Apprentice.
