00:00Hi, I'm Chloe, I'm an Enterprise Coordinator and I work for Solent Careers Hub and Portsmouth
00:05City Council.
00:06Brilliant, so tell me a little bit about the Apprenticeship Bus Roadshow and what's it
00:10all about and what people can get out of it.
00:12Yeah, fantastic.
00:13The Roadshow is all about taking local apprentices from lots of different businesses into secondary
00:21schools to speak with Year 10 students via a speed networking session.
00:26So it's an opportunity for young people to hear about what an apprenticeship is, the
00:29experiences of current apprentices in local businesses and just gain a little bit of knowledge
00:35and have the opportunity to ask questions as well and it's really valuable.
00:40Brilliant.
00:41Tell me when you're going to be going into the schools.
00:42We're going into the schools on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, so the 12th, 13th and
00:4814th of February, which is during National Apprenticeships Week.
00:52Brilliant.
00:53And tell me what people really get out of this.
00:55So, I mean, for the young people, this is an opportunity to really gain knowledge and
01:01experience and actually ask questions.
01:03We also think it's really good for their confidence and to be able to speak to people outside
01:09of their network and to local professionals and they really gain a lot and it inspires
01:17them to think about apprenticeships in a new way.
01:20Hi, I'm Morgan from Carrington West and I am a Marketing Assistant.
01:24Tell me, Morgan, about your sort of process with the apprenticeship scheme.
01:31So, I started at university and after a few months I decided it wasn't for me, so I made
01:38a decision to leave and then found the position that I'm working in now, which was an apprenticeship.
01:43So I was really quite lucky to have found that and it was so much better suited to my
01:49learning styles and for me as a person.
01:53Brilliant.
01:54And I understand that you did an apprenticeship scheme last year and you're completing another
01:58one this year?
01:59Yep, so I completed a Level 3 Marketing Assistant apprenticeship and I qualified in October
02:08last year, 2024.
02:10And then this year, in 2025, I'll be starting a Digital Marketing degree at the University
02:16and it's just a great opportunity and I really think further learning is important.
02:21Brilliant.
02:22And tell me how you've enjoyed it and that transition?
02:26So, for me it's really great to learn on the job and not only learn from the learning materials
02:34provided, but also from people around the business that have so much experience and
02:39I find that really great.
