Once in post, with enough experience and all the skills you gain, your career progression could involve moving to a larger station, to a programme with a wider audience, or from a local to a regional or national service.

You might also specialise in a particular field such as politics, finance and business, or sport. Or, you could become a foreign correspondent based abroad.

It would also be possible for you to move into presenting, to pursue an alternative route by becoming Bulletin or Programme Editors, or by taking up programme production or management roles.
