"I had a great time meeting and talking to the The Network delegates in Edinburgh. I'm really happy to support the scheme and help inspire any young people who want to embark on a TV career. Working in TV is a real buzz - I'm proud to be part of such a creative, influential and dynamic industry. My top piece of advice is grab every opportunity you can, be passionate about telly and full of ideas."

Vernon Kay

 

 "Getting involved with The Network makes me go back to my roots and think about why I'm in television and multimedia. It's inspiring meeting people beginning their careers and re-engages those already in today's media industry, reminding them that this is a great creative business to be in. The fact that the events The Network runs are free means that young people from a range of backgrounds are introduced to television and new media, which will help to develop a creative, diverse workforce. The Network is one of the best things about the Edinburgh TV Festival and the The Network delegates are a group of people I would have liked to meet when I started out."
Jana Bennett, Director of BBC Vision

 

 "The Network is a wonderful opportunity for anyone aspiring to get into the industry. Whatever interests you in television, The Network covers it and I'm delighted to represent this fantastic initiative. "
