"Who's this tiny little wallflower?" 🌼

It's a question Gracie's manager asked herself when the apprentice started at Citizens Advice Gateshead, but not one that would cross her mind today.

"Her confidence has grown so much. She's funny, engaging, she gets involved and she's become a fully integrated part of the team", explains Head of Marketing and Communications Kievah Wallace.

That growth is something Content Creator apprentice Gracie has noticed too.

"I'm probably most proud of how much my confidence has grown," she says. "I've noticed the difference even outside of work."

"Marketing and communications changes incredibly quickly," explains Kievah.

"Having somebody who's grown up with social media, short-form video and digital content gives you a different viewpoint."

"Young people bring fresh ideas, fresh perspectives and different experiences. That's incredibly valuable."

We're exhibiting next week! 🎉

Our Business Development Officer, Olly, is attending the Early Years Conference, ran by Gateshead Council's Education, Schools and Inclusion team.

We can't wait to meet Early Years professionals and chat about all the different ways they can improve their staffing capabilities through apprenticeships.

Olly said: "People who work in Early Years are often surprised about how accessible apprenticeships are. Whether they need to recruit new staff or would like to enhance the skills of their team members, we're here to help.

"If you're at the conference next week, stop by our stand for a quick chat!"
