ITV is aiming to give aspiring production accountants and managers a career pathway with the launch of its first production finance traineeship.
The entry-level initiative, run through training arm the ITV Academy, will fund six 12-month paid placements for training and mentorship in production finance on ITV shows across daytime, entertainment, continuing drama and factual.
ITV said the Academy is committed “to help tackle the skills gaps” in TV production roles such as production accountants, editors, production managers/coordinators, location managers and grips.
ITV Studios UK head of production finance Donna Ferris said: “The career path for production accountants isn’t always clear so we’re reaching out far and wide across the UK, with this traineeship to open doors and invest in people for the future.”
Candidates be based in London or Manchester and on location and will be paid £20,000 to £25,000 depending on where they are based.
Applications are due by 9 July, with placements running in September. For more details, click here
