Then the BBC Radio 1Xtra Where it Begins 10 Week Placement Sceme is for you.

The 10 week paid internship will give you the chance to work across our shows and departments. You’ll get hands on skills and experience at BBC Radio 1Xtra’s HQ.

The placement period will take place between:

Monday 17th January – Friday 25th March

During your time at 1Xtra, you will work with multiple teams spending blocks of time in different departments and across a variety of shows. You will take part in meetings and brainstorms and complete a range of duties for production teams prior to and during live shows.

At the start of the placement, you will be set an 1Xtra research brief to prepare and develop across the 10 weeks. You will then present your findings and ideas to senior management at the end of the placement. This could be on anything, from how we use social media to comedy. We will give you creative and insight training to help you with this project. You’ll have regular meetings with teams to develop your ideas.

During your time here you will also have a mentor. They will be a senior member of the 1Xtra team who will spend time with you every week to discuss how your placement is going as well as your future plans.
