6th 2024年2月 – Digital apprenticeship provider Apprentify is celebrating the achievements of its apprentices during the 17th annual National Apprenticeship Week (NAW). 开始5th 2024年2月, NAW’s theme this year is ‘Skills for Life’ reflecting on how apprenticeships can help drive growth for organisations and boost careers. To commemorate this calendar event, Apprentify is recognising the success of its apprentices, shining a light on Milton Keynes based 达内尔约翰逊.
达内尔约翰逊 - Level 4 Digital Marketing Apprentice and Affiliate Marketing Assistant at SB Digital Media Ltd enrolled onto Apprentify’s Level 3 Digital Marketing apprenticeship after leaving the world of football at 18.
After spending nine years in a football academy Darnell was unsure of what direction to take his career. Commenting on his career change he said: “I want to show that anyone who comes from a sporting background that doesn’t go as expected is not a failure. 这激励了我 the resilience I developed on the football pitch has been crucial in navigating this new career path. I want to inspire others by showing there are other avenues for success that can opens doors to new and exciting possibilities.”
Apprentify provides apprentices for organisations across the UK and has so far helped to elevate the careers of over a thousand people in the UK with their apprenticeship courses. Offering an alternative career path with on-the-job skills training while earning a salary and a qualification upon completion, Apprentify curate courses based on the industry developments while tailoring curriculum and coaching to the individual and organisational needs.
在他的足球生涯中, Darnell demonstrated skills that he has been able to carry over to his apprenticeship and has further developed his career by enrolling on the Level 4 programme. Paying homage to his support network, Darnell commented: “当我开始当学徒的时候, I utilised the support of my development coaches to access additional learning material. As you progress through the apprenticeship, 你的信心在增长, so you don’t feel as dependent on them. 但即使是现在, knowing that I can reach out to a coach who knows and understands me has helped me to grow organically and played a huge role in my apprenticeship journey.”
Speaking on the advice he would give to other sportspeople considering a change of career, 达内尔说:I’ve seen a lot of cases in teammates who’ve been dishearten by not making it in their sporting career. I want to inspire people by showing them that there is an alternative. 这种情况经常发生. As long as you set challenges for yourself, you will continue to grow and that’s what I hope to change.”
As someone who has engaged with both routes, Darnell found his apprenticeship offered him an environment has enabled him to establish himself in a new career and hopes his story will inspire others to make the same leap he did.
