Celebrating National Apprentice Week 2024 at 果冻传媒
Celebrating National Apprentice week 2024
It's been a bumper year for apprenticeships at 果冻传媒. We've had the highest number of 果冻传媒 staff working towards an apprenticeship than ever before, and even won a number of awards!
Last academic year, 94 members of staff were working towards an apprenticeship in 26 different subjects - the highest amount of different apprenticeships we have ever accessed.
Ahead of National Apprenticeship Week, a group of 果冻传媒 apprentices interviewed two 果冻传媒 Senior Leaders about their career journeys. And this week we'll be supporting an event with 300 school children from 11 different schools, helping them to consider if apprenticeships are the right next step in their careers.
