Young People

We invest in the next generation. Through Sky Academy Studios and The Edit, Sky Scholars and Mama Youth, we have enabled thousands of young people from every background to have the opportunity to learn, create, and excel in what they are passionate about.

Young people matter. We want to inspire talented young people to live up to their potential. So we’re creating opportunities for young people to explore a career in the media, and get their first break.

Sky Academy Studios gives school children a taste of life in the media. We use the power of TV to open young minds and develop young people’s creative skill. The Edit, in partnership with Adobe, takes that experience into schools, with a focus on low-income areas of the UK and Ireland.

Through our Sky Scholars programmes, we encourage young people to set big goals for themselves.

We’re committed to the development of all sport at all levels. With Sky Sports Scholarships, we support 12 of Europe’s most-promising young athletes, helping them to be the best they can be, breaking records, representing their countries and looking forward to competing at the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.

The MAMA Youth Project provides media and television industry training for young people from under-represented groups and those with limited educational or employment opportunities. It’s a 14-week intensive course, offering real-world experience working on the Sky One show ‘What’s Up TV’.

We’ve worked with the charity since 2011. Every year, we provide financial support to put 24 trainees through the programme, as well as providing work experience placements with Sky and several of our production company partners. In 2017, we moved MAMA Youth to our Osterley campus, supplying two dedicated edit suites and invaluable access to media professionals.
