Introduction Into Channel 4

Channel 4 is free-to-air and freely available to all of the UK. We have the UK’s biggest free streaming service, All 4, plus a network of 12 television channels. Since Channel 4 was created in 1982, it has been at the centre of national conversations and a catalyst for the creation of a world-beating production sector in the UK. Our purpose is to create change through entertainment. We do this by representing unheard voices, challenging with purpose and reinventing entertainment.

Our unique model – commercially-funded but publicly-owned – means that we’re able to offer independent and distinctive, universal content reflecting the interests of different communities across the UK. As a publisher-broadcaster, Channel 4 commissions UK content from the independent production sector and currently works with around 300 creative companies across the UK every year.

"It’s a fantastic place to learn, develop and work. It’s incredibly collaborative and everyone is always helpful, supportive, and willing to have a conversation. I am learning so many new things every week and am so excited to continue to grow and see how my career takes off." - Ashanti Barrett, Talent Team Apprentice

Creating Change Through Entertainment

Our vision is to represent unheard voices: Channel 4 has a strong commitment to representing the whole of the UK. It means using our strong brand and wide reach to elevate unheard voices – from diverse communities, emerging writers and producers, to those who have different points of view or experiences.

Challenge with purpose: We are here to challenge groupthink and hold power to account. We don’t challenge for the sake of it. We are here to test boundaries and challenge conventions and inspire reflection and critical thought.

Reinvent entertainment: Channel 4 has a long-established role as an innovator in the creative industries across ‘entertainment’ in the broadest sense: we challenge ourselves to continuously refresh what we do creatively; to develop new and emerging talent; to find new ways of reaching audiences; and to find new ways of working with our partners.


The C4 ‘4Skills’ team seeks out talent and gives it somewhere to grow. It doesn’t matter how old you are or where you come from; it’s what you’re passionate about that interests us. Whatever that may be, we’re here to help you find that first opportunity. So, where would you like to go?

Everyone is so lovely and you are always spoken to as an equal not just ‘the apprentice'. I have been given so many opportunities to learn more and get involved." - Nathan Price, Digital Production Apprentice (4Creative)
