Hello Jaqui,

The BBC are hosting summer placements though BBC Blast for people
looking to build their skills in the media.

What is the BBC Blast Reporter scheme?

BBC Blast Reporter scheme is an opportunity for budding reporters to
learn the tricks of the trade in hands-on work experience that will
enable them to build on their knowledge of the media along with
providing fresh and exciting opportunities in Sport and Music areas.

There is opportunity to work alongside BBC staff to create content for
BBC's local websites and radio stations, which will be something
outstanding for CV's and future career plans.

We keen for people to know that the BBC's doors are wide-open for their
