Gen up Day 1

Day 1 - Induction Day

Travelling From Newcastle on the Train , I made my way to Vision and Media, which is based in Salford. After arriving I got a chance to talk to some of the other guys on the course, but we were quickly whisked into the boardroom to start the day. The induction day did exactly what it said on the tin, we were introduced to each other and the guys running the initiative and we also got to chat to some of the people based at Vision and Media.

To start the day, Carol Sinclair and Helena Ward introduced us to TRC Media and more information about what to expect over the next 5 weeks. Afterwards we had our very own XFactor style photoshop, first an individual shot then a group shot. The photoshoot was probably more fun that it should have been!!


After lunch, we had visits from, Lynn Kelly (Radio and Skills) and Enda Carey (Games, Digital and Creative Services) from Vision and Media. Both shared their experiences within the industry and how they got to where they are now. They were also very happy to answer any questions we had.

To round of the day, Fay Shannon from Northern Net came in to tell us about a new company that aims to provide super fast file sharing using specified Hubs across the North of England. (oh and we got a free USB stick :P)
