Pledge 10 is a 12-month recruitment initiative designed to provide meaningful and tangible opportunities for our participants as they make the transition from training to employment through forming partnerships with 10 local companies covering both Creative Industries and Universal Industries.

-
Media Production

STEP 2
After an initial conversation, you will be invited to our Walsall studios for an in-person discussion.
STEP 3
Once agreeing over the proposal, you will be an official Pledge 10 Partner for the next 12 months.
It is our aim to ensure that any placement is a commutable distance for the young person and we would mainly consider companies within the Birmingham and Black Country area.
This initiative is designed to provide meaningful and lasting partnerships and we have identified a range of opportunities for our young people to be involved with.
This could be in the form of:
​
-
A work placement
-
Work experience
-
An apprenticeship
-
Part-time/Full-time employment
