My name is Kara and I\u2019m a Junior Content Producer at Corsham Institute. I help plan, film and edit videos, create animations and graphics to support the work done at Corsham Institute. I\u2019m also learning about creating interactive media such as games and VR content. <\/span><\/p>\n

I chose the apprenticeship pathway as it offered the work-based learning and office experience I was looking for, as well as providing an opportunity to learn new skills and gain a qualification. I had already completed a University degree in Animation, so I also wanted a job that would allow me to apply the skills I had learnt to a work environment. Ci has allowed me to build a portfolio of client-based animation work as well as building skills in new areas, such as live action filming and editing. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ci appealed to me because I was interested in the type of work they\u2019re doing around digital skills and the future of the tech world and I enjoy the variety of projects I get to work on via my apprenticeship. One day I\u2019ll be filming, the next editing and then I might be working on an animated graphic, such as the video I created for our House of Lords event<\/span><\/a>. The chance to build all of these skills is really valuable. I also appreciate the support we\u2019re given from Ci, as even though we\u2019re still learning our roles, our co-workers respect our skills and listen to the feedback we give, which makes me feel like a real member of the team. <\/span><\/p>\n

After my apprenticeship I\u2019d like to continue to work in content creation, maybe moving more towards games and interactive content. This apprenticeship is helping prepare me for future careers both from a technical skills point of view and by helping me experience the softer skills side. Things such as writing emails, planning projects, communicating with colleagues, managing budgets, risk assessments, are all valuable skills that help prepare me for the rest of my career. Technically I\u2019ve learnt about many content creation areas and also had the chance to work with new technology, such as the VR lab at Bristol University, through Ci\u2019s industry links.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the highlights of things I\u2019ve worked on so far would be interviewing local artists for our Peacock Arts Trail<\/span><\/a> video series, creating a video for Jamie\u2019s Farm<\/span><\/a>, and being able to experience VR software and training sessions. I\u2019ve also really enjoyed filming and editing the TEDx Corsham event<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

I would recommend apprenticeships as a good way to get into the industry if you know what career path you\u2019d like to pursue as you get to learn relevant skills, develop a portfolio and build experience that will benefit you throughout your career.<\/span><\/p>\n
