Well done @afneil! Truth is that these days precious few media companies offer genuine training to school (A level) or university (degree) leavers. I for one do not look down on those with the application to pay for it themselves at college. (PS I have only done one morning’s training in my career) .

@adamboultonTABB @afneil And I very much appreciated benefitting from Sky's trainee scheme - but especially learning on the job from talented (and patient) colleagues

@adamboultonTABB @afneil It is important that universities continue to modernise their courses to help their students be newsroom-ready in a fast-changing and competitive environment
