The Open Apprenticeship helps young people from marginalised communities find jobs in the advertising industry, which is notoriously difficult to access.

The OA is your access into the creative industries. It’s a different type of apprenticeship, one designed to ensure anyone and everyone can learn more about our industry, develop core knowledge and practice those skills with access to live briefs from real clients.

The Open Apprenticeship (OA) is an interactive platform, that offers an entry point for people keen to learn the fundamentals of the industry, understand the type of roles on offer and the career opportunities available.

This platform has been designed so anyone can learn more about our industry, develop core knowledge and practice those skills with access to live briefs from real clients. All at their own pace and in their own time.

There are four learning pillars; Brand Marketing, Media + PR, Creativity and Data + Tech

Once you have completed our learning pillars you can apply your new skills to live briefs. 

Submitting a brief unlocks a host of opportunities, including access to a job noticeboard – where you can apply for permanent roles, formal apprenticeships and internships and also sign up for mentoring and networking events.
