The BBC are hosting summer placements though BBC Blast for people looking to build their skills in the media.

What is the BBC Blast Reporter scheme?
 
BBC Blast Reporter scheme is an opportunity for budding reporters to learn the tricks of the trade in hands-on work experience that will enable them to build on their skills, providing fresh and exciting opportunities in Sport and Music areas.

There is opportunity to work alongside BBC staff to create content for BBC's local websites and radio stations, which will be something outstanding for their CV's and future career plans.

We keen for people to know that the BBC's doors are wide-open for their applications and ensure that as many people as possible have access to this information.
