2. CASH GRANTS AVAILABLE
Apprenticeships are amazing value. As an earn and learn opportunity, employment costs, can be lower than that of a general digital assistant, and there are huge amounts of government support available, such as the incredible ￡12,000 digital skills training grant to be spent towards training a new apprentice or an existing staff member.

3. HIRE FOR ATTITUDE AND TRAIN FOR SKILLS
In marketing, most in-demand skills can be broken down into two categories: things that can be taught, and things that come naturally. The latter category includes curiosity, creativity, empathy, a way with words, a team spirit, and a can-do attitude. Everything else, from marketing theory to SEO, photo editing to keyword research – evolves as the industry does and can always be taught.

An apprentice can reinvigorate your team, help you tap into new audiences and transform pure creative energy into powerful digital campaigns.
