This scheme is now closed for applications.

Next Generation is working with six of the region's most forward thinking TV and Digital Media companies to develop six promising new entrants with the right skills to be Production Assistants in an increasingly fast-paced digital production environment.

The 28-week scheme consists of a two-week, expenses-paid induction - including professional short-course training - followed by a 26-week placement for which trainees receive a weekly training bursary of £230. Upon completing Next Generation each trainee will receive individual advice and guidance to help them make the next move up the ladder.

The six lucky trainees recruited to the scheme in September 08 are: Chris Porter of Liskeard; Claire Gibson of Falmouth; Jeremy DeCoursey of Weston-Super-Mare; Lee Thompson of Bristol; Patrick Aryee of Bristol; and Soheila Dolton of Bristol.
