Content Creatives

The Content Creatives scheme is open to anyone aged over the age of 18 currently living in West Yorkshire or Manchester, or able to commute.

We are particularly keen to offer opportunities to people from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Applicants do not need to have any previous experience or a degree in media or digital. We just want to hear from people who have a passion for digital content and want to see how they can turn this into a career.

How it works

Apply now to the unique programme that brings together classroom-led learning and practical work experience to give you the perfect experience to launch you into a creative career. The course will take place between the 11th September – 8th March, and include 8 weeks of training and a 16 week work placement.

If you are successful, you will receive  bespoke training with SharpFutures followed by a work placement to put these skills into practice at a creative digital organisation.

During the first eight weeks of the scheme you will experience all aspects of creating and delivering digital content. You’ll undertake a range of courses covering skills such as production techniques, digital storytelling, ideas generation and pitching skills, alongside soft skills such as communication and teamwork.

After this training, you will then complete an sixteen-week work placement to put these skills into practice. As well as offering placements with 4Studio, Channel 4’s Leeds-based digital content production unit, Channel 4 is partnering with creative organisations in West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester to offer a range of exciting placements to successful candidates.
