Internet marketing company Neogain is the only company in Yorkshire using the Yorkshire and Humber Apprenticeship Training Agency (YHATA) apprenticeship scheme to support students who want to learn website development - and they have just announced the full-time employment of a third apprentice.
Lewis Beedham and Jamie Cartledge - junior website developers in training - will be joined by new apprentice, Matty Jones who is joining straight from school.
The moves have grown from managing director Mike Jones', passion about the role of apprenticeships.
"I have always recognised the need for businesses to support the development of local school leavers.
"I believe that our apprentices have a lot to offer to the company so combining our experience with the apprentice's raw talent we have an attractive prospect to our clients.
"We really do hope this is the start of great things to come as we are keen to see more development with local education providers to offer school leavers with exciting new qualifications which support the rapidly growing online marketing industry."
During their working day, the apprentices actively participate on numerous website projects with tasks including website construction, logo design, banner construction, website testing and social media development.
