How apprentices have helped drive Purpose Media’s success
At Purpose Media, we’re committed to encouraging the talent of our people – something which we were commended for at the prestigious Derbyshire Business Awards.
And, over the past decade, our success has been significantly influenced by the contributions of brilliant apprentices.
As we celebrate National Apprenticeship Week, we take a moment to reflect on the valuable role they have played in our achievements.
At Purpose Media, we’ve always been committed to nurturing young talent by providing rewarding and long-term career opportunities.
Around a third of our current workforce having participated in the apprenticeship programme is testament to this, with it creating a pipeline of accomplished professionals who have played a pivotal role in the sustained success and growth of our business.
We believe that apprentices not only bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to our team, but their emersion within the company as they learn helps them understand our culture and align to our way of working.
By implementing a learning and development culture and supporting the wellbeing of employees, many of our apprentices have progressed to more senior roles within the company, including as members of the leadership team.
We interviewed some of our current and former apprentices at Purpose Media to hear their thoughts.
Josh Donnell joined Purpose Media as an apprentice nine years ago and has since progressed to become the company’s technical lead. He began his journey with us by completing the Level 3 Software Developer programme.
Olivia Wheatcroft is the latest apprentice to join Purpose Media and is currently studying the Level 3 Content Creator programme. She’s looking forward to completing her course and learning more about business.
