Banging the drum for tech and digital apprenticeships

A Chamber member is using National Apprenticeship Week to increase awareness of the value apprenticeships add to organisations.

The Development Manager (TDM) provides tech and digital apprenticeships in Birmingham and Worcester for careers in digital marketing, IT, network engineering and software development.

National Apprenticeship Week runs this week and TDM says it is also keen to promote the accessibility, importance and value proposition of apprenticeships across England.

Derrin Kent, TDM 's MD and director of studies, said: “You don't become a professional via a cost-free short course. Instead, you need to make a serious, long-term commitment to a self-development journey with employer mentoring and expert coaching from a high quality training provider.

“That is why The Development Manager (TDM) is so proud to deliver the Get Ahead in Digital Transformation Programme as a precursor to career entry Level 3/4 apprenticeships. These can then progress onto a degree apprenticeship with a BSc (Hons) qualification attached.

“If you want to build your future in this way within a five-year timescale, the seriously hard work starts by applying here! ”

TDM stresses that tech and digital apprenticeships will enable organisations to have the skills in place when the new wave of tech lands for “Industry 4.0 ” - VR, AR, Blockchain, 5G etc. with staff who continuously learn and develop to reach new heights.

Offering different routes that suit different options, TDM believes that apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships are the most important educational programmes available in the UK for developing the “fortitude and endurance ” that is needed to drive Britain 's skills development forward.
