“This year has, without a doubt, been an incredible transformation that's still amazing to comprehend compared to this time last year. Honestly, life-changing.
Having done so many cool things that were unimaginable to me not long ago, the most important highlight this year is the privilege I have to be surrounded by such brilliant people who have and continue to inspire me in so many ways, not only professionally but also personally.”
— Zulqi, Apprentice at Wiliam Grant
“When Amazon offered me the permanent job, I almost fell off my chair. I still have to pinch myself a bit. I never thought I’d end up working for a really famous company, earning really good money. I’d been unemployed for two years after leaving Uni and was emotionally drained and discouraged from applying for jobs. Then I met The Marketing Academy Foundation and Amazon - through their genuine friendly care, I’ve gone from unemployed to a full-time employee at a top global tech company”.”
— Anike, Apprentice at Amazon 21/22 now permanent.
“My time with The Marketing Foundation has been great. I’ve had support in how to be an asset within the workplace, but I have also learned the necessary skills to be impactful in a big company. As long as I take with me the lessons I’ve learned throughout my time with TMA, I feel I will be a success."
- Joshua, Apprentice at TSB
“At the beginning of the year, I was more or less crashing in my partner's family home, working odd jobs to get by.
Then I found my apprenticeship with Monkey Shoulder, which gave me the time and space to get my life back together a bit.
And now I'm a Masters's Grad working on a big client account for a huge advertising agency whilst keeping the cogs turning on the art festival I started in the pandemic 🥳”
— Carly, Apprentice at Wiliam Grant
