Throughout the two-day programme, students participated in workshops that enabled them to discover the wide range of job roles available within the media industry.  Students explored a variety of career options including those of set designers, location managers, sound mixers and costume and makeup artists.

Students had their skills put to the test when they were challenged to create a pitch for a TV programme. They were required to work as a team to plan the project and deliver a presentation that would influence the broadcaster to commission their show.  Members of the winning team each received a Channel 4 water bottle.

The workshops were informative and provided students with insight into the media industry and the various career choices available to them.
 
The event was organised at the Academy by Miss Walker, Careers Leader, who told us: “I am really grateful to Channel 4 for providing the workshops for our students who have greatly benefited from the opportunity of working with such a high-profile media company.”
