I came into Channel 4 through an apprenticeship and was fortunate enough to be able to stay on permanently. Supporting my brilliant team in their hard work to champion equity and uplift underrepresented talent has been really rewarding. The key to success often lies in working collaboratively and putting yourself out there.
Robin, Creative Equity Team Coordinator - Bristol
The most valuable skill in my career is to be proactive. Want to stand out in interviews? Go above and beyond—show your passion through action, and that will speak louder than experience. Put yourself out there, stay curious, don’t give up, and you’ll go further than you ever imagined.
Ana, Digital Marketing Executive - London
My advice would be to always make space in your daily life to nurture those creative interests, and never be the one to limit your own opportunities. I gained foundational skills through two apprenticeships, which led me to my current role where I love the variety and scope of opportunities.
Tash, Press & Publicity Assistant - Manchester
Don’t be afraid to go against the conventional route of education, university isn’t for everyone. My route was dropping out of university, applying for an apprenticeship, and making the most of every opportunity. It’s so fun to feel involved in what’s relevant in the media world.
Jamie, Junior Channel Planner - Leeds
I love being part of the process that brings creative campaigns to life and seeing them go live on TV and online. My advice is to not wait for someone to tell you it’s okay to start—follow your curiosity. I've learned that soft skills like confidence and initiative are just as important as technical skills.
