Apprenticeships provider Access Industry is broadening its offering
by partnering with events agency Realise to deliver the Events
Apprenticeship programme.
Events Apprenticeship is an 18-month “learn while you earn” development programme. Access Industry, a recent rebrand of apprenticeships provider National College Creative Industries, offers Level 3
and 4 digital, creative and now, events apprenticeships in locations around the
UK, as well as online.
Jackson Armstrong, director of business development at Access Industry, said: “Access Industry is dedicated to supporting the events
industry, working with employers to fill skills gaps and supporting sector
growth with a constant flow of new talent in the pipeline. Our partnership with
Realise is an exciting opportunity to provide a one-of-a-kind learning
experience for our apprentices, led by industry experts, and is the next stage
of optimising our offer to best serve a sector we’re passionate about.”
The UK apprenticeships scheme helps companies invest in new
talent, upskill junior staff, and even offer a new career path to their
employees. Apprentices contribute immediately to their employers while gaining
experience from industry experts, and graduate with an Event Assistant
certification, equal to two A Levels.
Realise, established in 2017, is a global events agency with
a passion for developing future leaders for the events industry. Their bespoke
training programmes are based on decades of experience in the sector, including
developing and then delivering the first events apprentice standard across the
UK. Realise have graduated more event apprentices than all other providers
combined.
“It is extremely exciting to partner with Access Industry
and to share our event industry expertise. The reach that they have in music,
live theatre, the performing arts, and the event industry overall will
accelerate the uptake of our event apprenticeship. We look forward to using our
extensive event marketing experience at Realise to give apprentices a great
foundation for their careers, and we look forward to deepening our relationship
with Access Industry over time,” said David Preston, CEO of Realise.
