Channel 4 runs a department-based apprenticeship programme across its Bristol, Glasgow, Leeds, London and Manchester hubs, with apprentices working four days a week in teams such as Events, Legal, Finance, Commissioning and Sustainability and studying one day a week. It is aimed at adults (18+), especially people without a degree and from under-represented groups; it does not recruit production craft roles.
