Media Parents

Holly Blake at MGEITF has indicated that applications for the scheme below from Media Parents returning to work would be welcome, so disregard the 2 – 4 years experience stipulation and make your case once you’ve read below.  Please contact Holly for further queries, this really is a great opportunity to learn and network – the idea for Media Parents came to me after listening to Jay Hunt, Daisy Goodwin and other women in a panel discussion at Edinburgh, so it’s all-round inspirational.
