Fuse Capital is a finance business based in Hove. They worked with Creative Process Digital to recruit a digital apprentice and bring fresh talent into the team — using the apprenticeship route as a structured way to grow capacity without the cost or risk of a senior hire.
Why apprenticeship recruitment
For a growing Sussex business, the apprenticeship route does two things: it brings in junior talent that's hungry to learn, and it gives that person a structured training programme on the side. The on-the-job time is at Fuse; the off-the-job classroom day is with CPD. Fuse get capacity; the apprentice gets a qualification and a career start.
How CPD helped
CPD handled the recruitment side — defining the role with Fuse, sourcing candidates, running first-stage interviews, and shortlisting. Fuse interviewed, picked, and onboarded their apprentice. The whole process is built so the employer never has to figure out what an apprenticeship standard looks like or how the funding flows.
The outcome
A Fuse Capital apprentice joined the team through the CPD route and went on to complete their apprenticeship in the business.
Working with Creative Process Digital made the apprenticeship route easy for us — we got the right person and the right structure around them.
