Chloe's Story:
“After completing a Marketing Apprenticeship with Truro and Penwith College, I have now been offered a full-time marketing position with one of Cornwall’s top manufacturers, WISKA UK Ltd.” Chloe, from Bodmin, created and coordinated a marketing campaign to increase sales in a popular range for the company which was so successful the company is looking to repeat it in the future.
WISKA UK’s Marketing Manager said: “One of our buying groups has also named us "Supplier of the Year"- partly down to Chloe's marketing work- promoting our core values and honesty as a business.
”Why did I choose this option?
I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, work or continue to study, so the option of an apprenticeship at Truro and Penwith College appealed to me.
What appealed to me about Truro/Penwith College?
The Apprenticeship, with Truro and Penwith College and WISKA UK LTD, offered me the opportunity to learn on the job and study locally. The course provided me with valuable marketing skills required for the job mixed with a fun filled college lifestyle.How were you supported at College?
I felt supported throughout the course with lots of interaction between the employer and the college. This allowed me to developed modern marketing skills which I could put into action in a real job and see them return exciting results.
What advice would you give for new students?
If you’re unsure what you want to do, start work or continue to study, then an apprenticeship offers the perfect combination. Now I’ve secured a full-time marketing job with WISKA UK LTD. So go for it!
What are your plans for the future?
I’m now looking forward to helping the company grow and to continue to achieve success through my marketing campaigns.
