The Content Creator apprenticeship is designed to equip you with the skills to plan and develop creative ideas, research target audiences, and produce audio, visual, and written content suitable for different channels.

As a Content Creator apprentice at BBC Radio Derby, you'll play a part in creating trusted, high-quality content for BBC audiences. You'll grow your storytelling skills through hands-on experience researching, writing, producing, and editing content on a range of subjects.

You'll study for your industry-recognised apprenticeship qualification, learning both on and off the job. This means that as well as learning on your placement at the BBC, you'll also attend learning blocks with our learning provider.
