• An experienced, impartial mentor you can call on for careers advice, guidance and support
• On-the-job training, plus structured training arrange by Northwest Vision and Media on the key skills for the industry, including networking and "soft" skills, business awareness and project lifecycles, and extra training on key packages and technologies
• Further opportunities to join the networks and gain the knowledge that give you the edge as a creative, digital professional

To apply for this scheme you MUST:

• Live in the Northwest of England – Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside
