EMA Training’s Multi-channel Marketer programme offers a unique and comprehensive approach to learning, particularly through its face-to-face training hub, distinguishing it from the predominantly online offerings of other institutions.

The Unmatched Value of In-Person Learning

In a landscape where digital dominates, EMA Training upholds the invaluable benefits of in-person learning. Our face-to-face training hub is not just a physical space but a dynamic learning environment where students interact directly with marketing professionals and make new relationships with like-minded peers. This direct engagement fosters a deeper, more nuanced understanding of marketing concepts, encourages lively discussions, and builds a supportive learning community.

This balanced approach ensures that students are not just academically proficient but also industry-ready.

Cultivating Essential Skills

Beyond marketing techniques, our face-to-face delivery sessions emphasise the development of essential soft skills. Communication, teamwork, and critical thinking are at the heart of these interactions. These skills are crucial in any professional setting and are best nurtured in a collaborative, face-to-face environment. This approach not only builds professional competence but also instills confidence and adaptability in students.

Networking and Personalised Guidance

Our training hub serves as a bridge to the professional world. Students gain invaluable opportunities to network with industry experts and fellow aspiring marketers. These connections often lead to mentorship, internships, and opens the doors to future career opportunities. The personalised guidance and real-world insights provided by our experienced tutors are instrumental in shaping the professional outlook of our students.

A Future-Proof Career Foundation

Our Multi-channel Marketer programme is more than just an educational course; it’s a foundation for a future-proof career in marketing. The face-to-face training hub is a cornerstone of this journey, providing an immersive, interactive, and enriching learning experience that online courses simply cannot match.

Investing in the Future: Why Your Company Needs Multi-channel Marketing Talent https://www.ematraining.co.uk/blog/investing-in-the-future-why-your-company-needs-multi-channel-marketing-talent/ Thu, 16 Nov 2023 15:06:08 +0000 https://www.ematraining.co.uk/blog/ In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, staying ahead of the curve is not just an advantage – it’s a necessity. As an employer, one of the most strategic moves you can make is investing in multi-channel marketing talent. The Multi-channel Marketing Apprenticeship program offers a unique opportunity to do just that, preparing your company for the future of marketing.

The Evolving Digital Marketing Landscape

The digital marketing world is in a constant state of flux, with new channels, technologies, and consumer behaviors emerging regularly. This evolution demands a workforce that is not only skilled but also adaptable and forward-thinking. Multi-channel marketing apprentices bring fresh perspectives and are trained to navigate these changes effectively, keeping your business at the forefront of innovation.

Nurturing Young Talent: A Long-Term Investment

Investing in young talent through apprenticeships is more than just filling an immediate need – it’s about building the future of your company. These apprentices, equipped with the latest marketing techniques and digital know-how, grow alongside your business, adapting and contributing in ways that seasoned professionals might not. They are digital natives, innately understanding the online landscape, which is invaluable in today’s market.

The Competitive Edge of Multi-Channel Expertise

Multi-channel marketing is not just a buzzword; it’s a critical strategy for any business looking to thrive in the digital age. Apprentices trained in this discipline bring a holistic understanding of how different channels work together to create impactful campaigns. Their training in areas like SEO, content marketing, social media, and analytics equips them to contribute to a variety of marketing initiatives, offering a competitive edge to your business.

Cost-Effective Talent Development

Apprenticeships are a cost-effective way to develop talent. They allow you to mould enthusiastic learners into the exact kind of professionals your company needs. In addition, apprentices often bring a level of loyalty and commitment to the company that invested in their early career, reducing turnover and recruitment costs in the long run.  If you factor in training and development costs of a regular employee in comparison with the government funded training apprentices receive (to the very highest quality, delivered by our industry experts) it’s no wonder that so many businesses, large and small, are starting to explore apprenticeship opportunities for their existing and potentiality new employers.

Staying Ahead in a Digital-First World

In a world where digital is no longer an option but a necessity, having a team skilled in multi-channel marketing is crucial. Apprentices bring not just skills but also a digital-first mindset, ensuring that your marketing strategies resonate with today’s consumers and stay relevant in the future.

Conclusion: A Strategic Move for Future Success

Investing in multi-channel marketing apprentices is a strategic decision that benefits your company in the present and prepares it for future challenges. By nurturing this young talent, you’re not just filling a gap in your workforce; you’re building a team capable of driving your business forward in the ever-changing digital landscape. The question isn’t whether your company needs multi-channel marketing talent; it’s whether you can afford not to have it.

It’s about making a real difference and I have enjoyed seeing my apprentices grow in confidence with each new creative idea they bring to the table.”

The Life-changing Impact of a Multi-channel Marketing Apprenticeship https://www.ematraining.co.uk/blog/the-life-changing-impact-of-a-multi-channel-marketing-apprenticeship/ Thu, 16 Nov 2023 13:04:34 +0000 https://www.ematraining.co.uk/blog/ As parents, we all want the best for our children – a career that not only provides stability but also allows them to grow and flourish. In today’s digital age, the Multi-channel Marketing Apprenticeship at EMA Training stands out as a pathway that offers just that. This programme isn’t just about learning marketing; it’s about equipping young individuals with the skills and confidence to thrive in a dynamic career.

A Pathway to a Promising Career

The digital marketing sector is burgeoning, and with it, the demand for skilled professionals. The Multi-channel Marketing Apprenticeship is designed to meet this demand, providing apprentices with a robust foundation in various marketing channels. It’s a career path that offers diversity, challenge, and the opportunity for continuous learning – key ingredients for long-term career satisfaction and growth.

Real Success Stories: From Learning to Leading

Hearing from those who’ve walked this path can be the most reassuring. Take, for example, the story of Lucy, a former apprentice who is now a Marketing Executive. Lucy’s journey through the apprenticeship programme saw her develop from a curious learner to a confident professional, managing her own projects and campaigns. Her success is a testament to the practical and comprehensive nature of the training provided and she has also progressed on to our prestigious Marketing Executive Level 4 apprenticeship, which is an natural step up for many of our apprentices.

Personal Growth Beyond the Classroom

What sets the Multi-channel Marketing Apprenticeship apart is its focus on holistic development. Apprentices like Alice not only gain technical skills but also develop soft skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. These skills are crucial in today’s workplace and contribute significantly to personal growth and confidence.  As a Training Provider, we are proud to have been recognised by Ofsted as being ‘Outstanding‘ when it comes to our focus on the Personal Development of all our apprentices, meaning that an EMA learner leaves their apprenticeship with more than just knowledge of their sector – they become well rounded young people, armed with core skills required to help them through life beyond the course.

A Supportive Learning Environment

At EMA Training, we understand the importance of a supportive learning environment. Our apprentices are mentored by industry professionals and receive guidance throughout their journey. This support system ensures that they are not just learning but also applying their knowledge effectively, setting them up for success in their future roles.

Testimonials That Speak Volumes

Parents of past apprentices often share how the programme has positively impacted their child’s career prospects and personal development. Comments like, “I’ve seen a remarkable change in my child’s confidence and professional skills,” or “The apprenticeship opened doors and opportunities we never thought possible,” are common feedback we receive.

Conclusion: A Step Towards a Bright Future

Choosing the Multi-channel Marketing Apprenticeship for your child is more than just selecting a course; it’s about investing in their future. It’s a decision that leads to a rewarding career filled with opportunities for growth and success. As a parent, you can be assured that this programme offers not just education but a pathway to a fulfilling and secure future for your child.

Her experience in managing diverse marketing tasks, including data-driven strategy development, mirrors the comprehensive training that will be a cornerstone of the new Multi-channel Marketer Programme.

Evie’s Creative Impact in Content Creation

Evie’s role as a Content Creator showcases the diverse skill set our apprentices develop. Her ability to manage various content types and platforms is precisely what we aim to expand upon in the Multi-channel Marketer Programme, ensuring apprentices are well-versed in all facets of modern marketing.

EMA Training upskill with 3 internal promotions! https://www.ematraining.co.uk/blog/ema-training-upskill/ Fri, 24 Feb 2023 16:33:21 +0000 https://www.ematraining.co.uk/blog/ Here at EMA Training, we are passionate about training and upskilling, which is why we prioritise internal progression and staff retention.

In doing so, we work hard to support our EMAzing team members in identifying training needs, offering tailored support, and planning progression within their chosen careers. Our Senior Management Team regularly assess the staff they manage, their skillsets, what they bring to EMA Training, and what EMA Training can bring to them.

This often results in an internal shift…

Only two months into the new year and we are excited to be congratulating numerous promotions and working with staff members who are progressing in their careers within EMA.

Apprentice progression

We are committed to training and nurturing the next generation of professionals. Not only the apprentices we onboard to our course programmes, but the apprentices we hire into our own team. At the beginning of 2020, we hired a Finance Apprentice, Rosie O’Brien, who has been the perfect example of how an apprenticeship supports a progressive career.

Following the completion of her Level 3 AAT Accounting Assistant course, Rosie became a Trainee Finance Manager and started managing a Level 2 Accounting Apprentice. Rosie also started studying the Level 4 Professional Accounting course programme. Consistently upskilling whilst on programme, Rosie learnt and applied new skills, positively impacting the finance department and overall business.

Completing Level 4 towards the end of 2022, Rosie continued to display a fantastic skillset that has been ever-growing. Recognising these achievements, we wanted to ensure we could best support  Rosie as she takes the next step in her career.

For Rosie, this came in the shape of a promotion! Rosie is now the Finance Manager at EMA Training, responsible for running the department and managing her team. Following this promotion, Rosie shared, “Starting off as a Level 3 Accounting Apprentice I would have never expected to be able to progress so far within a business. As Finance Manager, I am responsible for ensuring the department hits KPIs, developing budgets, and completing Month End accounts. This responsibility I have been given has boosted my career immensely and opened doors to learn new skills and progress further within my career. I am incredibly proud to be able to say I am managing a department at the age of 22.”

Teamwork makes the dream work.

Whilst EMA Training is one big family, we of course do have departments within the business. As of recent, we have had a lot of exciting change within departments as team leaders progress within their roles.

EMA Training’s Recruitment Manager, Abbygail Maddison, has been with EMA Training for over 3 years and has progressed impressively within the business. Starting as a Learner Engagement Consultant, Abby has since shaped the Recruitment Department, building processes from scratch, and supporting 100+ candidates in becoming apprentices.

Recognising business growth and Abby’s capabilities, Abby became Trainee Recruitment Manager, welcoming a Junior Learner Engagement Consultant to the department! Abby took managing in her stride, whilst continuing her day-to-day responsibilities. Not only this, but Abby took the initiative to upskill herself and enrolled onto a university course in Smart and Inclusive Leadership.

Following a successful year, a progressive attitude towards personal development, and smashing the new challenge of being a manager, the new year of 2023 has welcomed Abby with a promotion! Abby is now EMA’s Recruitment Manager, and will soon be welcoming a third member to the Recruitment team, an Apprentice Recruitment Administrator.

Abby shares, “I am passionate about what we do here at EMA Training, and I am so happy to be able to have such an impact in the business, and in the lives of many of the candidates that come to us for apprenticeship opportunities. It is exciting to be gaining another team member and to be given further responsibility within the business is something I will always be grateful for. I have been able to steadily progress my career whilst at EMA Training; I’m consistently learning, facing new challenges, and having a great time whilst doing it!”

We encourage the team at EMA to have confidence in their skillset and to trust that they are capable in the face of a challenge, and the past few years have certainly sprung new challenges onto the team!

In 2022, the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) planned to come to EMA Training to assurance review the business. The ESFA is an executive agency for the government, as part of the Department for Education. When they run an assurance review, it is incredibly important that, as a Training Provider, we have everything in line with regulations and ready for when an Auditor comes in. The responsibility of this lays with our Audit and Compliance Manager, Laura Barber.

Laura is a fantastic addition to the EMA Training team and particularly showcased her skillset during this time. Through Laura’s hard work, EMA Training passed the ESFA audit with flying colours, receiving a “satisfactory”, meaning we could continue business as usual!

Coming into the new year, our Senior Management Team have been looking at internal structures and were keen to further strengthen our quality processes. The solution was a simple one – with the talent already in-house, it was easily decided to not only give Laura further responsibility within her role but also a bigger team to run – and this is how two became four! As of February 2023, Laura has been promoted to Quality and Compliance Manager, with two people joining the department and looking to her as their direct manager and main support.

Laura shares, “Having known EMA Training and Tracey (Managing Director) for many years before joining the team, it has been a privilege to not just watch the company grow, but to now be a part of that growth. This next step is definitely an exciting one, with new challenges around every corner and now a bigger team to manage, I’m looking forward to what 2023 has to bring!” 

In addition to the above, former Business Administrator, Angela has secured a new role as Quality and Compliance Administrator and will join Laura in the Quality and Compliance team.

Bring it on!

Providing EMA employees with additional responsibility and room to progress has enabled growth within the team. Empowering your team and guiding them through the hurdles of the working world, and being able to witness their progression as they leap over these hurdles is and always be an EMAzing part of EMA Training.

“I am incredibly proud of the EMA Team. We pride ourselves on training, supporting, and empowering our team members, working with them to reach their career goals.”

Tracey Mosley, Managing Director.

Two Derbyshire based businesses are partnering together to promote growth and employment opportunities for young people wishing to pursue an apprenticeship https://www.ematraining.co.uk/blog/two-derbyshire-based-businesses-are-partnering-together-to-promote-growth-and-employment-opportunities-for-young-people-wishing-to-pursue-an-apprenticeship/ Mon, 12 Dec 2022 12:02:00 +0000 https://www.ematraining.co.uk/blog/ The two companies are marketing agency Purpose Media and apprenticeship providers EMA Training. Purpose Media has been using EMA Training for many years to meet their needs for IT and digital marketing apprentices and the latest partnership will see them combine skills to enable EMA to promote apprenticeship opportunities to the wider East Midlands market.

EMA Training’s Chief Executive Officer, Tracey Mosley, commented, “We are delighted to announce the launch of our new website ematraining.co.uk, in partnership with Purpose Media. As an East Midlands apprenticeship training provider, we work closely with local employers to ensure career employment opportunities are accessible. This would not be possible without the support of employers such as Purpose Media who, as one of our employer clients, provide guidance, employment, and progression opportunities to those starting their careers.”

Chloé Farmer, Head of Marketing said, “Our new, innovative website aims to inspire and guide school leavers, young professionals, parents, and employers. Purpose Media has provided us with an accessible and appealing platform to attract, inform and educate them about the benefits of apprenticeships. Even today we find that many people do not fully understand apprenticeship and our website aims to dispel the myths.

We believe in supporting apprentices to develop their careers at any given opportunity; EMA’s Marketing Assistant, Jess Tracey, has project managed the website from an EMA Training perspective as part of her Level 4 Marketing Executive apprenticeship, which has been fantastic for her career development!”

Grace Golden, Head of Client Growth from Purpose Media said “Over our 14-year company history, Purpose Media has a long track record of nurturing apprentices, in fact many are now in senior management roles. Co-incidentally, Ruby Birks, who has project managed the work for EMA training is a former apprentice who has recently won two apprentice of the year awards, so this shows how beneficial apprenticeships can be in kickstarting a career journey. We are delighted to be partnering further with EMA to create more employment opportunities for young people.”

Set up in 2013, EMA has become synonymous with high quality apprenticeship provision and outstanding customer service. Operating out of offices in both Derby and Nottingham, the firm places over 250 apprentices per year, and has supported over 200 businesses with their apprenticeship requirements since inception.

Apprenticeship Training Provider, EMA Training announces the launch of a new website! https://www.ematraining.co.uk/blog/apprenticeship-training-provider-ema-launch-new-website/ Wed, 07 Dec 2022 10:33:41 +0000 https://www.ematraining.co.uk/blog/ We are excited to announce the launch of our brand-new website!

As an Apprenticeship Training Provider, we don’t just cater to potential Apprentices, but Employers and Parents too.  Our new simple and accessible design aims to create a seamless user experience, whilst educating and informing users by breaking down the important things you need to know regarding apprenticeships.

 

Support for Parents and Carers

We are thrilled to present an easy-to-navigate platform that offers specific support for your direct needs. For example, as well as having numerous pages tailored for Parents and Carers, the team have put together an EMAzing Parents and Carers Guide, after recognising that many Parents and Carers are very involved in the process of their child finding an apprenticeship and should be able to access all the information they are looking for. Having a guide tailored to support Parents and Carers, allows them to better support their child/children.

 

Levy advice and apprenticeship recruitment support for Employers

For Employers, our team worked hard, reflecting on an Employer’s user journey, and how this website can guide Employer’s in understanding the apprenticeship process. Successful in this, our new website provides a platform which aids Employer’s through the hiring process, explaining the basics of what an apprenticeship is, and going into further detail, like apprenticeship levies.
Our EMA Team has always understood the importance of building Employer relationships, and this new website will help the team support even more Employers in hiring an apprentice. With segmented information, the website dispels apprenticeship myths, whilst promoting the fantastic truths of the apprenticeship industry – how apprentices not only develop new skills themselves but also help develop relevant skills for the organisation – the list goes on!

 

Quick access to apprenticeship advice, tips, and vacancies for Apprentice Candidates

Our website provides the opportunity for anyone interested in an apprenticeship to access all the information they need at a click of a button! From advice and tips to applying for a vacancy –, you are able to understand what we offer, which of these offers suits you best and have a look at the current vacancies available without ever having to come off the website! This variation provides a fantastic user experience and makes the beginning of a user’s apprentice journey very efficient.

As a leading Apprenticeship Training Provider, it is important to the EMA team that candidates find their ideal role as soon as possible, but without rushing this process. With the accessible information on this new website, this process can now begin as soon as a potential apprentice clicks onto the home page! With Apprentice case studies, testimonials from Employers, and course information, alongside a variety of content types, users have access to a visual introduction to life as an apprentice with us, EMA Training.

 

Our journey and what’s to come

The creation of this new website has brought brilliant opportunities to the business. Working with Purpose Media, Apprentice of The Year, Ruby Birks project managed this website, whilst EMA’s Marketing Executive Apprentice, Jessica Tracey, created and uploaded the written content. Apprentice collaboration is what we are all about at EMA, and it is fantastic to see apprentices step into roles with such responsibility! On the theme of collaboration, the building of this new website has been a great chance for the internal departments within EMA to work together, when otherwise they may not. Each department has been approached by the Marketing team to ensure content is informative, and a true reflection of what the business offer.

Looking to the future, it’s an exciting time for us, as an Apprenticeship Training Provider! With an efficient, effective platform, we will be promoting new opportunities for both potential Apprentices and local Employers. The platform will also be used to share any business updates and promote EMA Training events, keeping users up to date with all things EMA.
