Sheffield based training provider, Whyy? Change rolls out brand new accredited apprenticeship training ahead of National Apprenticeship Week
EMMA HARRISON,
DIRECTOR OF GOVERNANCE
I am the director of governance at Whyy? – this basically means I protect the business from our CEO, Ray Byrne!
Part of my role is head of apprenticeships. I oversee our apprenticeship delivery from the first conversation with an employer through to completion of the end point assessment, ensuring our delivery exceeds what the employer and apprentice expected.
It was always part of my plan to start an apprenticeship and I have patiently waited for the Quality Practitioner to be approved as the knowledge, skills and behaviours I’ll develop will enhance our business structure, systems and long-term strategies of growth and resilience.
Being an apprentice at Whyy? is a unique experience focused on changing my mindset andapplying my new knowledge and skills from my first session. By having a tutor who is a skilled practitioner in Quality is an absolute must as Lynda Holbrey, our Head of Quality HSE, can bring scenarios to life.
Whyy? will be looking get certified in ISO 9001 by the end of 2021 and my apprenticeship will put us in a strong position to achieve the certification with support from our Head of Quality.
LAURA STEAD,
MARKERTER AT WHYY? CHANGE
I’ve worked as a marketer for almost 20 years (in fact two years before Mark Zuckerberg had even dreamt of Facebook) and I love the thrill of working in a fast-paced industry that faces new challenges and opportunities each day.
As a skilled practitioner and tutor, I’m immensely proud to supportpeople who are carving their professional marketing career. The satisfaction I get from seeing others develop and grow can be likened to tucking into a family-sized bar of Dairy Milk that you’ve hidden from the kids…amazing!
I’m a firm believer in learning by doing and that applies perfectly to marketing. Whyy? Change offer Marketing Apprenticeships that enable people to do just that – gain the underpinning knowledge from industry experts while learning from real-life ‘on the job’ experiences.
At Whyy? Change, we recognise that marketers wear their Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) qualifications like a badge of honour – it demonstrates that you area recognised marketing professional and welcomes you into a community of fellow CIM marketers. That’s why all our marketing apprentices gain their CIM qualifications as standard.
Whyy? Change delivers a full range of CIM Marketing Apprenticeships, suitable for those starting in their marketing career, right through to those who have gained experience and would like to progress their career further.
LINDA HOLBREY,
