'Will started his apprenticeship course in August 2020, as a Digital Marketing Apprentice and since then has gone from strength to strength in his role here at Keelham. The course has given Will strong groundwork for carrying out practical experience in his day to day job role. As an employer, we have felt supported throughout the course with great communication from his tutor and a clear understanding of what is expected from the course. We would recommend Shipley College for apprenticeship courses to strengthen our team in the future.’
