Previous candidates have gone on to work for BBC Creative, as well as other agencies such as BBH, TBWA, and Universal.
Jodie Anderson from class of 2022, said: “Thanks to BBC Creative U my dream career has taken off.” Jodie now works as a freelance Creative, specialising in Social Media.
Faron McKenzie, head of station for BBC Radio 1Xtra is one of the guest speakers on the programme.
Faron says: “A diverse team means enriched creativity – and creativity is the life blood of any creative organisation endeavouring to reach and connect with new and existing audiences. The BBC Creative U program is an opportunity to showcase your best work in an organisation that embraces diversity.”

Our agenda for creative diversity has a simple aim at its heart - to inspire action and measure its success. In the midst of all the recent uncertainties there's opportunity to effect real change.
