Apprenticeship testimonials and learner stories
"I wanted a career that would allow me to use my creativity as well as something that's diverse and different day to day, and marketing was the perfect fit. I decided to take a digital marketing course in particular as someone who is not the most experienced in tech, I knew it would be a great opportunity to learn. Since beginning my course in February this year I have learned so much about the digital world, and the tech skills I am learning allow me to make the most out of the campaigns I am creating, I can’t wait to challenge myself even more and see my tech skills evolve and how that will positively impact my creativity and work I produce."
“We chose QA because of their ability to tailor apprenticeship programmes to suit our specific needs.”
“We’ve been blown away with the quality of the candidates that have been put in front of us. If these candidates are representative of the level of the capabilities that are coming out of the schools in Scotland I think we are in an extremely good place as a nation and a tech nation for the future.”
“We’re creating a level playing field with QA. We can bring employees in from stores and build up their foundations in data. We have amazing opportunities in our technology team, like consumer analytics.”
“We highly recommend apprenticeship programmes to any businesses that have yet to explore this opportunity.”
“Apprenticeships are a good opportunity for individuals looking to make a career in IT. We see apprenticeships as investing in young people. We like the idea of growing our own talent within the company. This gives them a good grounding on learning, and gives us time to make sure they are the right people for our company.”
“We did not expect apprentices to move into core roles so quickly!”
