Channel 4’s Content Creatives for 18-24 year olds

Channel 4’s Content Creatives, is a 14-week paid training and work placement opportunity offering the chance to kickstart a career in the creative industry in Leeds and Manchester.

Content Creatives is open to 18-24 year olds. Applicants do not need to have any previous experience or a degree in media or digital. Channel 4 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.
