Employing a marketing apprentice shouldn’t feel like hard work
Never taken on an apprentice before? Not a marketer yourself? Wondering where you’ll find the time to track their progress and support their learning?
When you’re so busy running a business or department the thought of managing a new recruit can be overwhelming.
That’s why we make this simple for you – by providing employers with a network of dedicated marketing professionals and peers ready to support you and your apprentice every step of the way. It’s like having your own virtual marketing department.
Increase Your Marketing Capacity Without The Stress We Provide Tailored Support For Employers Too
At Working Knowledge, we know the most successful apprenticeships are those where both the apprentice and the employer or line manager are well supported throughout.
So, once you have selected who your marketing apprentice will be, either through our recruitment service or by investing in an existing employee, we are here to help.
It’s why we’ve designed a comprehensive system of support that looks after you and your marketing strategy, so you never feel like you’re trying to muddle through this on your own, even if you have little marketing experience.
What you can expect:
"One of my fears was that we're a busy small team, and I'm not an expert in marketing - so I was worried about how I'd manage and develop someone, how I'd keep them busy.
But with Working Knowledge, they have a coach and specialist trainers who provide that learning and development support as experts."
Nick Pearce, CEO, Alexander Daniels Global

“After my first Masterclass I set up Google Analytics, added all the tracking to the website and presented it in the team meeting. I loved it. You feel like you’re properly adding value. I’ve proven that I’m worth being here.”
Jaz Barrington
Marketing & Operations Assistant,
SMASH IT! Training
“I would be doing things like running the email campaigns, and I would always be thinking, ‘Is this right? I don’t know if this is right.’ Like I was just going out on a limb, just guessing what I’m doing. The apprenticeship gives you that framework to work from, so you know that everything you’re doing is actually right and you’re not just guessing.”
William Davy
Content Creator & Digital Marketer,
In & Beyond Bath
“Before the Academy, I didn’t know what I didn’t know. I didn’t know how to level that up or what I was doing wrong. And now I do. I know what I’m talking about now and it feels very comfortable. I’m coming at it with confidence. And that was probably my biggest moment, where I realised, ‘Okay, you know what you’re doing’.”
