The BBC is launching a new training hub for apprentices in Birmingham in partnership with tech giant Google.
Called BBC Apprentice Hub, it is aimed at bridging the skills gap in the West Midlands and will place up to 50 candidates with employers in the local creative sector to gain work experience alongside an education from training providers.
The apprentices' salaries will be part-funded by the corporation while Google will fund all training costs for new staff placed in roles through the Apprentice Levy Transfer Donation scheme.
