BLOG: The Impact of Apprenticeships

We have been working with Weston College since 2020 to create apprenticeship opportunities for local people to enter our organisation.

We have been so impressed, as apprenticeships have really helped us to further develop the business and create an energetic culture which has the desire and ability to perform whilst having fun.

Our most recent success story, Isaac, is a great example of how an apprenticeship can be beneficial for both a business and the apprentice. Isaac joined Brightside straight from secondary school and has developed into a highly motivated professional with a clear career path ahead with myBrightside.

When asked about the apprenticeship Isaac said: “I have really enjoyed working at myBrightside for the past year and enjoy coming to work! We have a great service which I strongly believe in a great team and some even better customers! I have been really impressed with the support from Weston College, and in particular my tutor Hannah, who has really helped me on my journey so far, as she is always available if I need support with college or even my day-to-day work. I’m very looking forward to the future working for myBrightside.”

Apprenticeships have made a remarkable difference to myBrightside and it is fantastic to see young adults with enthusiasm and the right attitude progress through and take on more responsibilities.

Weston College have been an excellent partner and have made the whole process easy and enjoyable. We thoroughly recommend working with their team!
