Presenter training opportunity
In 2012 the BBC launched PresentAble; a new presenter training opportunity for 6-10 exceptionally talented disabled individuals, who have the potential to present across the BBC’s output. The search is on for people with a real knowledge and passion for natural history!
Could you captivate an audience and bring a fresh perspective to mainstream programmes? Would you describe yourself as a disabled person? Then we want to hear from you!
We're looking for people with real passion and knowledge who are great communicators and have the potential to build lasting careers in the media. If you’re successful you’ll receive 10 days of training with the BBC Academy, exposure to a host of industry contacts, and a great showreel. We’re not guaranteeing you a presenting role the moment your training ends - like other potential presenters you’ll be expected to seek out your own opportunities, but we do want to give you the best possible chance to compete for these as they arise. Applications close Jan 31st 2012. For more details and to apply - http://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/news/presentable.shtml
