BBC journalism fast track apprenticeship 2023 Application

Has anyone heard back from bbc yet regarding this role?
I got through to the video interview stage and now I feel like I’ve waited ages for a response😩

Btw I applied for the London base

Hey, I've also applied for this apprenticeship. I think they said that they'd be getting back at the end of April so I'm presuming that this will be the towards the end of the final week of this month. It seems like lots of people have applied for the production apprenticeship, but I haven't found many people also applying for journalism! Bit worried about the next stage if i do get through!

Wow, they’re taking ages isn’t it😩

There’s more discussion about production assessment centre. But I feel abit at ease now knowing they’re still shortlisting candidates for fast track journalism.

But what exactly about the next stage are you worried about? If you don’t mind me asking

they’ve mentioned a few times about the next stage being reviewing a local news story and i’m just a bit worried about how in depth i’ll have to talk about it, so mostly practicalities. also with a levels so soon i’m quite exhausted! my local area is a bit boring so it’s just making finding something i’m passionate about which is local

Hey! did anyone else make it through to the final round?

Hey Yeah, I did too. What location are you going for?

Awesome, well done! I've applied to London, what about you?

Birmingham. We have to make a 45-90 second video about a local news story - assuming it’s the same for you?

yes same here- i’ve been planning it today and feeling excited but nervous! unsure how much it has to be based on a real news story so kind of just following what will engage me the most and really enjoying that! good luck!

How did your video go?

I have an introductory session and interview tomorrow - getting nervous. Not sure if it’s the same for London but I also have a to-be-disclosed-on-the-day group activity on Thursday.

Good luck with your assessments!

Hello, how did your group session go? I’m SO anxious about it, mines tomorrow! What kind of things did you have to do?

hey!! it was very okay- i was also so anxious but it was all good!! we went off into small groups from the main amount of people on the call (groups of maybe 7ish i think) and then they gave us a task. my laptop as being a pain and the camera didn’t work but i recommend having one as it’s nice to have for googling/ making notes/ putting the task up on a bigger screen. good luck today, you will be fine! everyone spoke in the group even though zoom is really awkward to speak through as it’s easy to talk over others. hope it goes well!!
