This webinar, presented by the Academy team at Anicca Digital, is for businesses based in Norfolk and Suffolk that want to improve their in-house skills in digital marketing.

There are 2 ways you can get involved:
1) Nominate and support your staff to take part in the 10-day digital boot camp, which starts on 16th November and runs once a week until February (with a gap for Christmas)
2) Offer an interview for a job or apprenticeship opportunity to learners who complete the course.

During this webinar, we will explain how you and your staff can get involved. Here are a few more details below>>>>>>

1) Nominate your staff to become a learner
You can support your employees to improve their skills in digital marketing, by supporting them on Anicca’s 12-week digital skills BootCamp, which also leads to a level 5 qualification from the Digital Marketing Institute (DMI)

The next course starts on 16th November, with the 2 -hour induction on the 15th. There is a 70-90% grant to cover the cost of the course, so your contribution will only be £240+VAT for SME’s and £720+VAT for organisations employing more than 250 staff.

2) Offering opportunities to our successful learners
We are currently training our first group of learners from Norfolk and Suffolk, and many are looking for their first job opportunity or higher apprenticeship. they have already invested around 100 hours to complete all the modules and will shortly be taking their exams.

We are looking for any local (or national employers) that want to give these learners the opportunity to make a difference in your business. The learners are either based in Norfolk or Suffolk but come from a mix of backgrounds and have different levels of experience, however, they are all keen and have shown the tenacity to complete the course. if you are not ready to employ anyone now, then we would be interested in you being involved again in the new year, when the next group of learners are looking for opportunities.

We hope to see you at the Employer’s webinar and answer all of your questions. See less

Building on the huge success of last year’s event, ‘Skills for Energy 2017’, when more than 400 students, parents and teachers connected with energy employers, our next event, Skills for Energy 2018, will take place on 28th November 2018.

This event will be designed to feed the increasing appetite among young people to explore the full range of training and career opportunities in the energy industry and how to access them. It will provide a unique opportunity to talk directly to and inspire potential employees and showcase companies’ investment in young people and the future.

We can only achieve this with the support of the region’s employers and their commmitment to take the free-of-charge exhibitor spaces and bring along interactive STEM-based activities, current apprentices and other employees who can talk to young people about their experiences.

Feedback from students and teachers from last year’s event was incredibly positive, so please help us to make this year’s event bigger, better and even more inspirational for our future workforce.

linocuts, photography of the local area and even some original paintings, all created and donated by local artists.

Vicky Etheridge, Manage of Discover King’s Lynn, says:
“We have been fortunate enough to receive many generous artwork donations from local creatives and we’re really looking forward to showcasing these at the Art of Giving event on
the 15th November. We hope the event will bring people together to support a much-needed local charity during one of their busiest times. Do come along and make an exchange!”
