Marketing Apprentice Review

As a Marketing Apprentice at Auto Trader, my role includes copywriting, creating content, community management, scheduling and planning content and getting involved in larger campaigns.

Nearly everything I have learnt through my role and my apprenticeship has been a new skill for me. I have learnt so much about marketing and I have developed existing skills such as collaboration and team working.

I have enjoyed my apprenticeship programme with Baltic and it has been good to get experience in various areas of marketing.

I think the apprenticeship programme could be more clear, especially when it comes to the projects. The projects have to be written in a very specific way and the evidence provided has to be done in a particular way too.

I feel fully supported by my employer. The early careers team are always on hand to provide guidance and support and my manager has been extremely supportive in giving me the time I need to complete off the job training for my apprenticeship.

The support I receive from my learning mentor is good.

I feel that most of my learning is achieved through experience on the job and at work. I have learnt some useful things through the apprenticeship training however I don't feel it has had a huge impact on my ability to perform better in my role.

There are lots of networks, including early careers networks, regular social activities and lots of clubs I can join.
