2024's iteration of the programme has been co-designed by Dermot O’ Leary’s Tuskar Trust, Fremantle UK, the British Production arm of global entertainment group Fremantle, alongside Meet a Mentor.

This programme matches 26 mentors with 26 mentees and young creatives currently underrepresented in the industry to break into the TV and digital storytelling sector. This is a six-month long programme which carefully pairs mentees with industry mentors, forges relationships through opportunities to network, offers TV and film set shadowing plus guarantees first running creds. The six-month programme includes a 3 day intensive TV bootcamp which gives a 360 overview of all things production from commissioning, development & script-writing workshops, to art & lighting direction, documentary making, a tour of a post to post-production facility & includes a technical camera and lighting skills workshop. The scheme also supports with job applications and cv support amd provides opportunities to go behind the scenes of some of Britain's best loved TV shows. The monthly evening sessions hosted at Fremantle UK headquarters hosted by Dermot, include candid Dermot 'in conversation' style interviews with industry figures such as Broadcasters Andi and Miquita Oliver, Director Hector Dockrill offering advice and talking about their jobs & their journeys to get there, warts and all.
