QTV Senior Technical Manager Julie Robinson came to New College Lanarkshire’s Cumbernauld campus – to raise awareness of the breadth of opportunities in the broadcasting industry in Scotland with our current HND students!
With 23 years of experience, a large portion of it working for the BBC, Julie explained the shortage of racks operators as well as replay operators facing the industry right now which presents an opportunity for trainees to have hands on experience leading on to guaranteed work which is attractive for a largely freelance work force.
Students are looking forward to the announcement of QTV’s 12 month training in partnership with BBC Studioworks and other broadcasters which will turnaround ready to work freelancers.
QTV is a fast growing company, covering a multitude of sport livestream across Scotland as well as event broadcast.
“Julie’s top advice to students was around resilience and debunking the glamour of working in TV – especially outside broadcast which can be tough with long hours and varying weather conditions – but also providing a fast paced and exciting environment for someone able to think on their feet!
