On Friday 3rd April Toxteth TV in association with Onteca hosted The Northern Advantage breakfast ‘Pitching Tips’ workshop. This was attended by a variety of freelance media practitioners. The session was led by TV producer John Forrest and Radio Producer Janet Graves.

This workshop was part of a series of ‘free to attend’ information and networking sessions intended to enhance employment potential that are being held across the region in the premises of independent media and digital companies.

The Northern Advantage is no ordinary training scheme but, underpinned with access to professional mentors, it will offer some of the best freelance media practitioners in the Northwest a collaborative and business enhanced approach to their personal development and working experience.

This activity is funded by the Skillset TV Freelance Fund and the Digital and Media Skills Programme, delivered by Northwest Vision and Media in partnership with Skillset, and supported by the North West Development Agency.
