Connected agency group, idhl, has welcomed 14 new starters to its biggest ever graduate training programme, which will be run from its Harrogate, Leeds and Manchester offices.
The 12-month specialist digital development programme for graduates was originally launched in February 2021 in the Paid Media team, with the goal of attracting new talent and investing in the training and development of entry level candidates.
However, it has been so successful that it has now been opened up to include other areas of the business.
This years graduates will undergo training and get first-hand agency experience in other digital marketing service specialisms such as Technical SEO, Copywriting and Digital PR as well as Web Development and Design.
They will also each have a dedicated and experienced mentor for day-to-day queries, be involved in regular structured development sessions, gain relevant certifications and accreditations, and have the chance for progression into a permanent role upon completion of the programme.
Graduate training manager, Giacomo Palmieri, who launched and ran the initial programme in the Paid Media team alongside idhl head of operations, Sophie Dalglish, said: I am proud to see this graduate scheme grow, with our successes and learnings in Paid laying solid foundation for the wider teams.
When we started this programme, we had just one graduate candidate in place at a time, but this year well have four people in Paid Media alone, and a further 10 across other areas of the business. Its so great to see.
Our six alumni have become key to the day-to-day running of our team, and one has recently been promoted to senior executive.
Ben Turner, people director of idhl, added: This is the first year that the idhl group has delivered a graduate programme of this scale.
It is important to us that we invest in our future workforce to support not only our growth, but the development of the next generation of digital marketing enthusiasts.
The 14 graduates started their idhl group journey in late July, coming together initially for a three-day immersion and team-building event at The Queens Hotel, Leeds.
