Investing in the Future at CitCom
It’s National Apprenticeship Week, and at CitCom, we’re celebrating the power of apprenticeships to transform lives and businesses.
We’re incredibly proud of our apprentices, Georgia Little and Charl Hale, who are both working towards their BSc (Hons) Digital Marketing (Integrated) Degrees. Their dedication and enthusiasm are an inspiration to us all.
And let’s not forget our success stories! Emily Hyde, our Head of Sales and Marketing, started her journey as a Level 3 Digital Marketing apprentice and is now a driving force in our company.

Why Apprenticeships Matter
Apprenticeships offer a fantastic pathway to gain valuable skills and knowledge while earning a wage. They’re a win-win for both individuals and employers!
Here are some stats that highlight the impact of apprenticeships in the UK:
- 86% of apprentices are satisfied with their apprenticeship. (Source: Department for Education)
- 78% of employers said apprenticeships helped them improve productivity. (Source: Department for Education)
- Apprenticeships contribute an estimated £3.4 billion to the UK economy each year. (Source: Centre for Economics and Business Research)
But the benefits of apprenticeships extend far beyond these impressive statistics. They provide individuals with:
- Real-world experience: Apprenticeships offer the opportunity to learn on the job, applying classroom knowledge to practical situations. This hands-on experience is invaluable in preparing individuals for the workforce.
- Career development: Apprenticeships can lead to long-term career opportunities, with many apprentices securing permanent positions with their employers after completing their training.
- Personal growth: Apprenticeships can boost confidence, develop essential work skills, and foster a sense of accomplishment.
Apprenticeships are a vital part of the UK’s skills landscape, providing opportunities for individuals to thrive and businesses to grow. They are an investment in the future, and at CitCom, we are proud to be a part of this important initiative.
CitCom’s Commitment to Apprenticeships
At CitCom, we believe in investing in the future. Apprenticeships are a core part of our team’s development, providing opportunities for individuals to gain practical experience, grow their skills, and build successful careers.
We’re incredibly grateful to The Development Manager for their support in providing our apprentices with the education and guidance they need to thrive.
Cheers to National Apprenticeship Week!
Let’s celebrate the power of apprenticeships to shape the future of work and empower the next generation of talent.
