Each year Channel 4 runs something called "inspiration week". Inspiration week gives young people an all-round view of industry, helping them understand different roles within media. Inspiration week is all about inspiring people by showcasing the skills, experiences and attitudes they need to progress, as well as ways which enables them to focus and strengthen their career prospects. They cover areas such as acting and presenting, journalism, new media, theatre, producing and directing and advertising in the media.
Inspiration weeks aims to attract 14 - 19 year olds that have a strong passion to break into the media industry, combined with raw talent that will make them stand out from everyone else. Inspiration week does not like to set down to many rules and "must haves" as they want to attract a diverse number of people.
You are able to apply and get an open day. The open day can take up to 150 people and it helps them get a taste of what it is like. The open day gives them the opportunity to take part in activities and sit in talks by high level media professionals. There's also one on one careers talks and advice sessions. After attending this open day, young people can then apply for a place in inspiration week through channel 4's careers website.
After plenty of engaging formal and informal learning master classes and workshops, attendess will have gained a real insight into all kinds of roles in the industry and might get some idea of where they could fit in.
