Myth Busting: Apprenticeships

It’s National Apprenticeship Week 2024! During this week we will be joining the celebration and discussions about creative apprenticeships. Apprenticeships bring both value and opportunities to people of any age to develop their careers and acquire the work experience needed these days to have a successful career.  

Through the many years that Creative Alliance has supported talent into creative roles, we have seen how creative apprenticeships have supported the development of graphic designers, video editors, venue technicians, social media creators and many other roles, with remarkable success within their workplaces. 

On the other hand, we also hear from people that it can be difficult to get information about apprenticeships or have notions about them that are either incomplete or not entirely true. Therefore, we are starting #NAW2024 providing our experience into these trending myths, and how apprenticeships can be good for all! 

In the creative industry, there can be many barriers to getting a career started, or difficulty in hiring new talent that can become a good fit for a company. At Creative Alliance we have noticed that when there is more understanding of apprenticeships, they can provide an alternative path to traditional education for learners, and to recruitment for employers.

We hope that this sample of myth-busting has provided more insight into the impact apprenticeships can have on your future. If you have any questions or want more information check out our dedicated pages for Employers and Apprentices, or reach out to a member of our team.
