Throughout late September and October, we, the TY students have been working with a Sky Living for Sport Mentor and we visited the Sky Careers Lab. At Sky Careers we were shown what it was like to work at Sky. We got a tour of the Communications Centre and got to use Virtual Reality (VR) Technology and an interactive wall full of videos and information. We were put in groups and had to complete challenges. It was a good experience and we got an insight into what its like to work in TV.
