🌟 Three years ago, I made a bold decision – one that has reshaped the future of Net Visibility. 🌟 I chose to invest in young people. Our goal was simple but ambitious: find the brightest talent, train them the Net Vis way, and give them the kind of responsibility they wouldn’t easily get elsewhere. We built on years of experience working with young talent during A-Level and university holidays, but this time, we were aiming higher. We embarked on a degree apprenticeship programme, offering the right candidates the opportunity to gain a BSc in Leadership and Business Management whilst learning Digital Marketing at Net Visibility. Alan Hansen famously said, "You don't win anything with young people." How wrong he was! We’ve found the perfect blend of "grey hair and young flair," and it’s been a massive success. Our team is a mix of experienced industry experts (also known as the ‘old gits’ who were in marketing long before Google, Facebook, and Snapchat even existed) and the raw, infectious enthusiasm of young talent. Yes, some days it feels like running a kindergarten, but the rewards are there for all to see. Actually there is an argument that the biggest kid in the team is yours truly! This week, we proudly welcomed Millie to the team and sent Kofi off for a well-deserved holiday in Australia. Don’t worry – Tigger will be back soon, fully recharged! If you're thinking about growing your business, I highly recommend considering degree apprenticeships. It’s not without its challenges – you need to ensure everything is documented and not just stored in someone’s head – but the benefits are huge. We’ve managed large-scale Google and Facebook advertising campaigns, thanks to this powerful combination of fresh energy and seasoned wisdom. Here’s to continuing the journey, investing in the future, and proving that a mix of young people with seasoned professionals really is the key to success. 🙌 #Leadership #DigitalMarketing #Apprenticeships #Growth #YoungTalent #Mentorship #BusinessTransformation

Did you know our website also features the CEAR Speaker Series, where we talk to educators about their research and the innovative practices they're implementing in education. This week, we spoke to Kevin Dupont about his research on integrating career-related learning in Key Stage 3. Kevin advocates for starting early career conversations, embedding them into the curriculum, and involving parents to support students’ aspirations - helping bridge the gap between education and future career pathways. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/drfcxJdV

New batches will start from 5th August

🚀 Exciting News! To kick off our Black History Month celebrations, we’re thrilled to announce that Lloyd Mcleggon-Watkinson will be taking over our LinkedIn page for the next few days! 🎉 Lloyd, a dedicated member of the Science Apprenticeship Forum, will be sharing his personal experiences, insights on increasing diversity in science, and some of the incredible individuals who have inspired him along the way. 💡 Lloyd’s Top Tips for Employers on Promoting Diversity: "Encourage staff to share ideas while keeping in mind that not everyone is confident enough to speak up in large settings. It’s important to provide multiple ways for employees to have a voice. Not everyone is comfortable with open discussions, so make space for quieter conversations that allow interactions to be more accessible. These moments often capture the most unique and valuable ideas!" Great advice from Lloyd as part of our Black History Month takeover! 🌍 Every voice matters—let’s ensure every team member has the chance to contribute. Stay tuned, and be sure to follow along as he shares his journey and perspectives. Don’t forget to connect with him and show your support! 🌟 #BlackHistoryMonth #DiversityInSTEM #ScienceApprenticeships #RisingStar #DiversityInTheWorkplace #InclusionMatters #Leadership

🤝“What is a university placement and why is it important? In alumni Fernanda Torres Alam’s and Josefina Mas' words, the IIPP Placement is “the perfect opportunity to apply theory to action while also continuing to enrich our understanding of new policy frameworks." The placement programme offers collaborations with a wide range of organisations on diverse challenge briefs. From institutionalising new economic thinking to elaborating civic engagement strategies, MOIN partners enabled us to explore many of our diverse interests while also inviting us to apply core the learnings of our course, and ultimately improve our employability.” 🔗Learn more about IIPP placements here: https://lnkd.in/e7J2GM4X
