• Play a part in creating trusted, high-quality content for BBC audiences.
• Grow your storytelling skills through hands-on experience researching, writing, producing and editing content on a range of subjects.

Learning blocks will be a mixture of in-person and virtual delivery, including attending instructor-led workships, tutorial sessions, presentations and group work.
