It’s well known that demand for skilled workers outstrips supply in the tech industry worldwide, and the UK is no exception. But what can we do about it?
Taking advantage of apprenticeship schemes allows people new to the digital and IT industries to learn as they earn.
Apprenticeships attract local, high-potential and engaged candidates from all walks of life, with different skill sets and experiences. Working alongside you, we can hand-pick the skills that your company is missing and build a programme that plugs the gaps that you are facing.
'I was attracted to the idea of an apprenticeship as it allows you to not only gain a qualification alongside your everyday job, but it gives you an opportunity to learn and practise what you’ve learnt in a real life situation. It’s really helped me contextualise my role and think more widely about the business.'
'Earning and learning was the best thing – I was able to gain industry experience alongside learning the theory behind it all. I was able to put my learning into practice immediately and see results due to being exposed to real life scenarios in the industry.'
'My apprenticeship was facilitated through the company I am currently with but more than that, it was my first step into a corporate role. I was able to learn, gain experience and earn in a field I loved without prior experience or knowledge. It gave me the leg up I needed to get into this field and the teachings are still invaluable today.'
'My apprenticeship helped me to understand and learn about marketing within a business. Even though I came from a design role, it helped me understand strategy and engagement that I could implement throughout my designs and how to work with a business and its marketing team to help them gain revenue through my designs.'
