  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I was more there to assist in holding items for reporters. I was also able to learn more about certain areas in the media industry including knowing more about the dubbing suite, gallery, reporters, media, web-design and more

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    10/10

  • 4. How valued do you feel by ITV?
  • I felt very valued. I helped members of the ITV Wales team a lot, and they were grateful for my assistance.

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • As it was the Royal Welsh Show week, some of the time on one of the 3 days experience I had was mostly spent sitting around. Other than that, the operation manager often went around to see what I could do next.

  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • It was amazing! Very good, although I was more informed about things than anything else.

  • 6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • It was very good. The team were all very friendly and understanding. We could have a laugh, which is always a useful thing.

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • I didn't get paid. I walked to the building for the 3 days and only bought a couple of snacks from my own money.

    8/10

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • The opportunity is surrounding media. I'm also a Mind Cymru media volunteer, and so I now have stronger link to getting opportunities outside of the work experience.

    9/10

  • 9. Would you recommend ITV to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • Because they are very good and information. I wouldn't have learnt what I had done if it weren't for attending the 3 days work experience.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to ITV?
  • Definitely go for it. The opportunity doesn't always go around. I was lucky to be involved with this because I originally did an interview for ITV Wales News. Doing the experience can also gain you good contacts.
