Youth and experience are equally important in digital marketing. New approaches, backed by tried and tested methods, are crucial to reaching the ever-important 18-34 demographic. The vast majority of digital marketing channels, from Instagram to TikTok, have a young userbase that only a youthful outlook can reach.
Since our beginning in 2016, Wildfire has been proud to be working with Estio Apprenticeships to provide a safe and educational working environment for the next generation. With a 100% Pass rate so far and many of our apprentices going on to work with us, we’re excited to talk to you about the benefits of National Apprenticeship Week!
Learn why we love National Apprenticeship Week and why you need apprentices in your Digital Marketing work below.
What is National Apprenticeship Week?
From the 7th-13th February, National Apprenticeship week takes place. This is a celebration of the Apprenticeship Scheme, which gives individuals a chance to learn invaluable skills as they progress in their careers. This year’s theme for National Apprenticeship Week is ‘Build The Future’. This theme was chosen to give businesses across the UK to reflect on how UK Apprenticeships provide a talented workforce with the skills and knowledge required for a rewarding career.
Wildfire Marketing Apprenticeships
Wildfire Marketing has had 4 Digital Marketing Apprentices since 2016, all of whom have completed their qualification. We have found that apprenticeships equip younger talent with a wide breadth of Digital Marketing skills they hone and specialise in within the office. From content writers to Social Media experts, Estio Apprenticeships has provided us with exceptional talent. Many of our employees are former apprentices who have become a core part of our agency.
The apprenticeship scheme is something which we have bought into since we started Wildfire and something we will continue to invest in for many years to come. The apprenticeship scheme allows us to mould and shape our team members from an earlier age, and our team members that have gone through the scheme have fantastic skills they can bring forward with them into their careers.
