Global: does its broadcast journalism apprenticeship scheme sponsor a UK visa?
Unconfirmed. Global publishes no sponsorship policy for its broadcast journalism apprenticeship scheme, so we cannot state a firm answer. The 24 month scheme places apprentices in Global's Manchester and Birmingham newsrooms producing bulletins for LBC and other Global stations, sourcing interviews and supporting breaking news, while studying one day a week for an NCTJ Diploma in Journalism delivered by PA Training over 18 months. Global's own announcement says no prior experience is necessary and frames the scheme as removing barriers to entry, but does not state pay or address right to work or visa sponsorship.

Does the pay clear the UK Skilled Worker salary threshold?
The pay for this scheme is not published clearly enough to judge against the threshold.
What is the catch international students miss with Global?

How should I confirm Global's sponsorship before applying?
Read the specific vacancy on Global's careers site, ask its early-careers team directly, and check the employer on the gov.uk Register of Licensed Sponsors. Policies and thresholds change, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm for the exact role and cycle.
