Why did you decide to apply for an apprenticeship?

After I finished my A levels, I just wanted to get out there and start working. I wasn\u2019t keen on the idea of an apprenticeship as there was such a focus on going to University. After having no luck finding a job and feeling demotivated, I did some research into apprentices and was surprised by what I found, so I just decided to go for it and applied at Creative Process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

My job consists of a nice variety of different digital marketing areas, with my main specialism in social media management. I also have the opportunity to work daily on SEO, email marketing, lead gen, campaign management, website creation,
design, video production and content creation \u2013 it\u2019s such a great mix and keeps every day interesting.<\/p>

The things I\u2019ve loved most are being part of such a cool, understanding company. Their main focus is people first and we\u2019ve got such a great culture, it\u2019s like a family. At the age of 19, I never expected to have landed myself in a job I LOVE. It\u2019s in such an amazing company with a great group of supportive people, which has made the whole apprenticeship journey so much more worthwhile. Also being trusted to try something new and I\u2019ve been so supported in training, developing new skills and knowledge outside of the apprenticeship.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I\u2019ve got a secure job I love in a great company & team, I\u2019ve gained so many new skills and learnt from lots of experiences. Since finishing my apprenticeship, I\u2019ve already been given new roles and been promoted to DM Assistant. Now I know
what I want to do and work towards.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t

I got to meet some great people and it\u2019s helped me realise what I want to do career-wise moving forward. My team put me forward for an award last year (based on the work I\u2019d been doing at Breathe). I won Silver Apprentice of the Year at the SME National Business Awards in December which was an AMAZING experience and I was so chuffed to win an award as an apprentice! We also hosted our first ever Breathe customer event, and I was part of the planning and attended. It was so good to be involved in and throughout the whole apprenticeship, I was never seen as \u2018just an apprentice\u2019, I was a full member of
the team and still am.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

What advice would you give to an employer considering hiring a digital apprentice?<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

You can really give someone a great opportunity to learn about what it\u2019s like in the business world as a marketer and help them grow and develop as a person. It\u2019s also an opportunity as a business to get someone with not much prior training, and work with them and your company and get them working on things you may not have had the capacity to previously do. They learn all their skills through your business, so are the perfect asset to the team moving forward because they know exactly what you want, how your brand talks and what\u2019s expected. It\u2019s a great opportunity for both the apprentice and business.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

If you had to use one sentence to describe your apprenticeship what would it be?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It\u2019s like a really good rollercoaster. You don\u2019t know what to expect and it can sometimes be all up and down but in the end you\u2019re so glad you did it. I\u2019d highly recommend anyone to considering doing an apprenticeship or career change because you could find something you love, without even thinking about it before.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
