THE C4 APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMME

If you are looking for an opportunity to gain work experience and a qualification, then an apprenticeship at Channel 4 might be for you. Our Apprenticeships are full‑time, with four days per week spent working in a C4 department and one day per week completing the formal learning parts of the apprenticeship. The formal training provided will consist of workshops, tutorials, webinars, coaching and, in some cases, residential boot camps. The training is dependent on the qualification your apprenticeship offers and will be explained in detail by the training provider before you officially begin the course. Our apprenticeships are aimed at school leavers and people who do not have a degree.

CHANNEL 4 BEHAVIOURS

At Channel 4, we have four core behaviours that underpin everything we do:

• Include – We’re Altogether Different so let’s team up and trust each other to collaborate arm‑in‑arm. Don’t just listen: listen to understand.
