A night of celebrations
On the 6th of October graduated apprentices, current apprentices, employers, tutors, and coaches gathered to celebrate a whopping 10 Cohorts worth of graduations at Rain Bar in Manchester. Due to Covid, we were unable to celebrate in style when the groups finished their qualifications throughout 2020 and earlier in 2021, so a big celebration for cohorts 17-27 was well overdue. After weeks of planning, designing certificates, organising speakers and venues, the day quickly arrived. And that was well worth the wait!
The evening started with a bit of mingling as guests trickled in and were welcomed with fizz on arrival. It was lovely to see apprentices old and new getting to re-unite with each other and for many, actually meet them in person for the first time, instead of just online! After all the introductions, everyone sat down ready for the ceremony led by Sandy Lindsay MBE. As each individual walked up to collect their certificate, we celebrated a mix of qualifications as the older cohorts did the Digital Marketing Level 3 and the more recent cohorts, the Junior Content Production Level 3.
