Juice Academy celebrates 25th cohort of apprentices and new partnership with Apprentify

Ahead of its upcoming apprentice recruitment day on Thursday 14th November, which will see the multi award-winning apprenticeship programme recruit its 25th cohort, industry leaders, The Juice Academy has selected training provider, Apprentify, as its new partner.

The Juice Academy, the not-for-profit brainchild of national communications agency, Tangerine, has been delivering apprenticeships in digital marketing for nearly seven years and recently teamed up with Apprentify, a relative newcomer to the apprenticeship market, which is already making impressive noises in the sector.

The Juice Academy has led the way in digital apprenticeships, delivering the first industry-led social media apprenticeship back in 2013. Since then it has gone on to train nearly 350 young professionals, producing employees for some of the country’s biggest brands, including Pretty Little Thing, Manchester Airport Group, Greater Manchester Police and UNILAD.

The Juice Academy selected Apprentify as its new partner as it too focuses entirely on digital marketing and social media. Apprentify’s concentrated expertise in this subject ensures the quality of its coaching and programme support. Apprentify development coaches offer a wealth of experience and digital ability, evidenced by its impressive 100% exam pass rate.

Apprentices on the programme will study the level three apprenticeship: Junior Content Producer, which focuses on content production for digital channels, while also benefitting from broader digital marketing training.

The next Juice Academy Recruitment Bootcamp, now in partnership with Apprentify, is on Thursday 14th November and there are a small number of employer and apprentice places still available. During the intensive, interactive and fun day, employers will select apprentices who have already completed a detailed digital skills scan as well as the BKSB Maths and English fundamentals with Apprentify, so they can be confident they are meeting the right level of talent to complement their company.

Speaking on the partnership with Apprentify, Sandy Lindsay MBE, founder of Tangerine and The Juice Academy, said: “We’ve reached a huge milestone as we welcome our 25th cohort of apprentices to The Juice Academy, and I’m excited about the partnership with Apprentify to deliver an ever-improving apprenticeship which will help mould some of the industry’s brightest young talent.”

Paul Drew, managing director and founder of Apprentify, said: “Apprentify is excited to be collaborating with The Juice Academy on the partnership and looking forward to making one of the best programmes on the market even better for employers across the North West. It is a match made in heaven! The Juice Academy has proven that its programme has one of the one best talent bootcamps and teaching experiences on the market. Couple this strength with Apprentify’s industry-leading assessors and industry experts and together we have a truly best in class apprenticeship experience.”
