Digital Journalist Apprenticeship @ BBC

BBC’s Digital Journalist Apprenticeship applications are now open.

You will work alongside BBC News teams on work placements and assist them with delivering quality News output and content, whether that is online and digital, radio or television.

Meanwhile, you will be working towards a Level 3 Diploma in Journalism. Balancing your time between learning on the job and in a classroom environment will be essential.

What’s on offer?

• An amazing apprenticeship to train to be a journalist with the BBC – with a diploma in journalism accredited by the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) at the end of it.
• You will learn how to create great content for BBC News across TV, radio, digital, online and social media.
• You will train and work alongside top Editors and staff across different parts of BBC News and Current Affairs
• You will get to tell news stories which appeal to a whole range of people who might not normally watch or listen to the news.

What do you need to apply?

• You should be creative, curious and resilient.
• You must love all things digital and be able to show you are already using social media to tell stories.
• You must have a passion for writing.

This is a scheme aimed at non-graduates. But you need to have at least 5 GCSEs with Maths and English at a C or above (or equivalent).

We also welcome those who are doing a completely different job – and want to make a career change to become a journalist.

If you are switched on, creative, and you can bring us your experiences of living in the UK today, then we want to hear from you.

Are you a graduate with ambitions to start a career in Journalism or an individual who can demonstrate their journalistic potential through existing experience, then our Journalism Trainee Scheme may be a better fit for you.
