WYK Digital

A lack of social mobility is costing the UK 📉 The Co-op/Demos report details how in the UK, people from “lower socioeconomic backgrounds” are “far less likely to earn good incomes, even after accounting for levels of education” 📚 Over half of WYK participants hail from the poorest 20% of UK postcodes. Our programme’s goals are to help young people obtain careers that have the potential to lift them out of poverty 🧡 #WYKDIGITAL #socialmobility #digitalskills

We need your help! The WYK Digital Crowdfunder UK 2024 Campaign is LIVE 💥 https://lnkd.in/ez6inhbr We need 3️⃣ 0️⃣ agencies or digital employers to donate £250 each 💷 . Aviva will then match fund each donation! Businesses who donate will be listed on our site as Official Partners. Donations will go directly towards WYK training over 600 young people in 2025. Just think for the price of a round of client drinks in the west end you could support: - 2500 hours of live training - 19 programmes across London, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield, Newcastle & their surrounding areas - Access to careers when youth unemployment is rising - Career progression for young people from marginalised communites - The launch of a new programme focussed on tech/agency sales - Additional syllabus content - Mentor recruitment - Employability support In the grand scheme of media budgets, what's £250? Well it would mean the world to us.

Another amazing achievement for us and the WYK Digital team at the Marketing Week awards. We were in the Talent Trailblazer category and were Highly Commended! 🎉 🏆 It's been an unbelievable year for us at WYK and we all know that 2024 has been a tougher year for young people trying to break into the industry. Less jobs with more competition! However last night proved that our hard-work is reflective of everyone here at WYK Digital. 👏 Emma Gray and Heena Mistry were there on the night to represent WYK and we couldn't be prouder to work with two amazing female leaders who strive everyday to carry forward WYK's mission. 🚀 #WYKDIGITAL #MarketingWeekAwards #marketingweek #digitaltalent

My heart is full ❤️ 25 young WYKers celebrated their graduation today from their 10-week digital marketing programme with WYK Digital and the Greater London Authority.🎉 I've been fortunate enough to teach them paid social media marketing and give them insights on running social campaigns. They worked really hard and learnt a lot in a very short time. What stood out the most was how easily they set up their Meta campaigns for their clients and created very professional client presentations! I'm incredibly proud of all of them. 🤩 They are now ready to start interviewing for digital marketing roles, so if you're recruiting for this type of role or if you're looking to mentor these young graduates, let me or the WYK Digital team know!   Thank you to the brilliant WYK team Thomas, Ifrah, Olivia-Rose, Rob, Heena, Angelina and Ann-Marie.

📣 A survey by the The Guardian suggests that young British women struggle to progress at work. 🌐 Those who are underrepresented are feeling the workplace divide more than ever. And young women are more likely to feel money issues getting worse, compared to men! 📈 In our vision, it has been our duty to help build the foundations for those less likely to be represented. We help teach those digital skills and give those the building blocks and MORE! To excel and secure roles in some of the top digital companies.
