The John Schofield Trust is extending its journalist mentoring scheme to the Republic of Ireland.
In September this year, applications to the trust's early career mentoring scheme will be opening for the first time to broadcast and multimedia journalists living and working in Ireland.
RTÉ has been welcomed as a new supporter of the scheme.
David Stenhouse Trust CEO said: "The John Schofield Trust is delighted to be able to launch our mentoring scheme in Ireland, and I am very happy to welcome RTÉ News as a supporter of our work. "
Managing Director, RTÉ News and Current Affairs Jon Williams said he was excited that the John Schofield Trust is extending its "important work" to Ireland.
"We need newsrooms as diverse as the audiences we serve. By mentoring journalists at the beginning of their careers, the Trust will help them tell stories that truly reflect the Ireland of today," he said.
