In our new podcast, CRIW, Barry Roberts & Sue Jeffries discuss apprenticeships in the creative industry in Wales. Barry completed his Sgil Cymru apprenticeship at BBC Cymru Wales working in the Art Department during 2018 – 2019.  At our recent ‘Dathliad’, Barry was awarded the Creative Apprentice of the Year Award, sponsored by Creative Risk Solutions. Prior to the apprenticeship, Barry was working as a freelance Graphics Designer, and had the opportunity to take part in a work experience project at the BBC Roath Lock.  Whilst Barry was completing his work experience at the BBC, a former apprentice, who now works as an Art Director at Pobol y Cwm, suggested he should apply for the next cohort of apprenticeships.  Since Barry at the time also wanted to work his way up to being an Art Director, he felt this would be the perfect opportunity to learn new skills and to build up his experience. Barry worked on several productions such as Dr Who, Casualty and Pobol Y Cwm during his time at the BBC. Since he is profoundly deaf, adjustments were made so that Barry could work properly and confidently at the studio, but there were many challenges along the way. For instance, in one of the studios where Barry was based, there was a  bell that was rung to convey when recording was starting.  Obviously, this proved difficult for a profoundly deaf member of staff, so adaptations had to be made.  it was decided to add a light to the bell so that Barry would know when they were filming., as well as making sure that there was a buddy system with another member of staff making sure that Barry knew that the recording bell and light had been switched on. The BBC were very supportive in adjusting to the needs of Barry and understood the impact of his hearing difficulties.
