Work placements can be a great way of getting valuable insight into a job and making your first industry contacts. We’ve provided placements at organisations including Time Out, BBC Studios and Curtis Brown.

I've got work experience

We've created a work experience guidance pack that covers what to expect, how to prepare and what you should do at the end of your placement.

I want work experience

Applications for our summer work experience programme 2023 closed on Friday 26 May 2023.

We run work experience every summer. If you are looking for work experience outside of those times, please use our work placement interest from below. This will help us to search for relevant organisations when our summer programme comes.

The form below does not guarantee that we will find you a placement.

If you are over 18, you can apply for any paid work placements or creative briefs that are advertised through your monthly newsletter.

We’ll give you guidance on how to make the most of your placement and how to adapt your experience for your CV! In meantime, you can check out some CV tips here.
