It’s been invaluable – it has created work opportunities, connected me to industry leaders and a fantastic peer group, as well as inspiring me to engage with the key issues facing TV. I’d recommend the scheme to anyone looking to step up in their career and immerse themselves in all things TV!
It was brilliant; the scheme gave me a unique opportunity to attend the festival, build relationships with talented peers and industry leaders, and engage in passionate debates about the future of TV.
I loved watching James Graham’s MacTaggart lecture, as well as the other fascinating panels about the most pertinent issues facing TV, such as class, freelancing and reporting in war zones. It inspired me to think about how we can continue creating daring, creative TV in spite of the difficulties our industry is facing.
