WATCH VIDEO: Ibby's media apprenticeship led him to be a JUNIOR EDITOR specialising in social media and AI!

WATCH VIDEO: Matthew's media apprenticeship led him to be a HEAD OF STUDIO at age 23!
WATCH VIDEO: Joshua's media apprenticeship led him to be a CAMERA OPERATOR training underrepresented young creatives in film skills!
The highlight of my job is that I can learn almost anything I want (as long as it’s film-related or can benefit the company). I pitched taking social media more seriously as a company because that was one of the areas I would love to develop.
University never interested me. On leaving sixth form, I did an online course in graphic design to work on my Adobe skills before applying for jobs. I was offered the Apprenticeship role of Junior Content Producer at Mediorite, and have been promoted to Senior Editor and Studio Manager since then.
Get comfortable being uncomfortable, as putting yourself in uncomfortable situations is how you grow. So in order to Win you’ve got to Lose & Learn.
I joined BCE’s free Creative Apprenticeship Masterclass, which deepened my understanding of the media industry. This motivated me to apply for apprenticeships, eventually discovering Mediorite.
