Do you want to work in the Creative & Cultural Sector?
Reform Radio are bringing you a brand new Skills Bootcamp in Video Production. It’s free to access and travel and refreshments are provided. The aim of this programme is to support you into a paid role in the Creative and Cultural Sector.

You’ll have access to masterclasses from industry experts and be fully supported by our team using the latest video and audio equipment.
