Sponsored by the Financial Times, our journalism careers guide is sent to secondary schools and colleges across the UK.
At the NCTJ, we believe journalism should be open to everyone – no matter where you’re from or what kind of story you have to tell.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. If you’re curious about the world, enjoy telling stories, asking questions or creating content, journalism could be for you. There are all kinds of roles out there, and your strengths might be just what a newsroom needs.
This guide is here to show you what journalism really looks like today, and how your skills and interests could help shape its future. You’ll find out about different jobs, training routes, funding options, and hear from real people who started out just like you.
Wherever your story begins, the NCTJ is here to help you take the next step.
