Twofour Takes On One Dozen Trainees

Twofour's 2007 Talent Day has proved the most successful yet and resulted in the company taking on 12 trainees to work at its Plymouth headquarters.
Over 50 young people were invited to attend a day of interviews and workshops earlier this month. Many were from the south west or had studied in the region though some had travelled from the other side of the country.
Of the 12 successful candidates seven will work in Twofour's broadcast department - each with their own mentor who will teach them about production and programme development, directing or production management.
Three trainees have been offered places in Twofour Communications where they will learn about the production of communications content for clients in education, the public sector and for many major brands and finally, two will be working for Twofour Digital learning about post production.
"We are delighted that we have been able to expand our trainee scheme this year and offer new talent hands on experience of a very broad range of programmes and projects," said Twofour Chief Executive Charles Wace. "It is vitally important to develop creative skills in the region. Many of the young people who have joined us in previous years have gone on to be directors, producers or editors or have applied their interactive media skills to produce innovative communications solutions for our corporate clients. This business is notoriously difficult to break in to and I hope the twelve trainees will enjoy their time with us."
Twofour produces lifestyle and factual entertainment programming for the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Five, LIVING and Sky, and works for clients such as the British Army, Volkswagen, British Heart Foundation and Nationwide.
