I'm normal work experience you don't get paid but this one is different you do. It is a fair amount for people who are 16 or 17 so I believe that it's very fair and even.

Yes, you get the opportunity to visit and get a tour of the stv studios. You also get to meet their team and how they make adverts and get to see the news room. You also get a visit to white lee wind farm and see how wind turbines are made and how much energy can actually be made from them.
