Global, the media and entertainment group behind Heart, Capital, LBC, Smooth, Classic FM and Radio X, has run apprenticeships in its newsrooms and radio programming. In June 2022 it launched a broadcast journalism apprenticeship: 24-month roles in its Manchester and Birmingham newsrooms with a day a week studying for the NCTJ Diploma in Journalism with PA Training. Its former early-careers page described 15-month full-time apprenticeship contracts. No apprenticeship vacancies were listed on its careers site.
