Hear from our learners

“The 360-degree wrap-around plan meant that my learning was structured around me, rather than the other way around. My Skills Coach helped me apply my learning to real projects, my Tutor made sure I understood the theory, and my LPA was always there to guide my progress.”
Jude Aston, Former PR and Communications Apprentice, City of Wolverhampton Council
“I love that when I’m in JGA seminars, I’m often able to relate what I’m learning to what I’ve already done at work and vice versa. I already feel like I’ve learnt so much not only in relation to PR and communications, but also the corporate world and working within such a large organisation.”
Janet Oyedemi, Former PR & Communications apprentice, Walt Disney Company

Delivery model

We partner with line managers to shape the workplace element of apprenticeships, making sure they have real value. This mix of practical learning and everyday skills helps apprentices get started with confidence and keep developing as they grow in their roles.

We deliver our apprenticeships remotely via Microsoft Teams. This eliminates the need for learners to spend time and money travelling to centres, and enables us to bring together learners from across the country in one digital classroom. Learning is delivered through regular live online seminars in small groups, supported by round tables, expert 1-2-1 coaching and pastoral care.
