Dale had the pleasure of delivering a LinkedIn workshop to Apprentices from Starting Off – a local apprenticeship training provider that’s very close to my heart. Why? Because 36 years ago, he founded that very company! worked alongside for many years……and today was the first time he’d been back. The Apprentices in the room were working in marketing roles in local businesses.

Last week Dale had the privilege of returning to Woodbridge School in Suffolk for a packed day of talks and coaching sessions on Degree Apprenticeships and LinkedIn 🚀. He started with a session to the entire 6th Form on LinkedIn, showing students how to showcase their achievements, explore opportunities, and build meaningful connections. It’s been brilliant to see so many of them subsequently setting up profiles, and posting and engaging on the platform. 👏

Before starting his Technology Degree Apprenticeship, Dale met with Yanmi and he reflected on the support he’d received at The Duston School through the Apprenticeship Application Coaching Programme I'd delivered. We'd worked together to prepare for interviews and assessment centres, so Dale asked: “What made the biggest difference?”
