Bauer Academy Apprenticeships Opportunity

/ August 23rd 2022
Talent Task Force

Are you interested in upskilling your staff or adding talent with bags of potential to your company?

The Bauer Academy – a training provider company – is offering adland two apprenticship programmes designed by the IPA.

One of the programmes is designed to train apprentices for an Advertising and Media Executive role, and the other is for a Junior Advertising Creative role.

If you are an apprenticeship levy-paying business, then this is a fantastic opportunity for you.

These programmes allow you to upskill existing staff, as well as add talented new joiners to your company.

This is also a great opening for smaller non-levy paying businesses to benefit from heavily subsidised bespoke apprenticeship programmes. Apprenticeships are a great way to recruit people from more diverse backgrounds as these are salaried jobs, with the training taken care of and funded by the apprenticeship levy.

The deadline for applications has been moved back to mid-September, with a new starting date of November, giving companies more time to apply.
