a good way of doing a more corporate job with decent pay and an exciting sector then in terms of more creative production roles a lot of people start off as a runner or assistant here are some great companies and resources for those roles we're now going to look at what a few of the biggest companies offer first up the BBC offers both apprenticeships and grad schemes it's worth noting that BBC Studios was named as the best place to work in the UK television industry by glass door in 2024 which i
s a great sign because it's based on reviews from employees that work there so let's get into what they offer two of their apprenticeship schemes pay around 205,000 which doesn't sound much but they're essentially paying for you to get a qualification which is amazing the more experienced schemes for more experienced hires include software development which pay between 22.4k to 32.5 next up Sky TV we would massively recommend sky as a place to start your career as they have well established grad
