Shortage of broadcast engineers?

Former Staff Member

But the biggest concern we encourntered was "where are the next generation of engineers going to come from?" Many companies are already reportdly struggling to recruit employees with the right skills.

    My son just left Salford University with a degree in
    music with sound engineering being his specialist subject. On
    application for consideration at BBC at Media City for either work
    experience or an apprenticeship in Sound Engineering he received an
    automated replies almost within seconds of submitting the
    application. This cannot be very encouraging, if indeed there is an
    automated "screening" system that relies on criteria that may or
    may not be valid. I think there may be a number of frustrated, but
    very competent, young folk out there who find the BBC's job
    application process a bit daunting.
