Tiegan Walker

We caught up with Tiegan to find out what she is enjoying about working with Shelton Associates and what she’s looking forward to in her future.

What do you think of the apprenticeship so far?

Asking Tiegan about her experience so far, she told us she’s enjoying her new role and the experience she is gaining.

“I’m really enjoying it – I think it’s going to really help me with my career in digital marketing.”

During the programme, Tiegan will attend classroom-based training to learn about the principles of marketing, digital marketing business principles, and site development associate training (coding and website development)

What do you enjoy most about working with Shelton Associates?

Being part of a specialist team, Tiegan is surrounded by people with years of experience that can provide guidance during her apprenticeship. Shelton Associates has proven a great fit for Tiegan, and she has settled in immediately.

“It is a really friendly company and I think I have settled in straight away. I love creating content for their social media, writing the captions and including suitable hashtags.”

What are you looking forward to in your future?

As Tiegan has recently started her digital marketing apprenticeship, we wanted to see what she is most excited about in the future. 

“I’m excited to start filming, editing and posting videos and hopefully building up the followers on their social media”

As part of our sessions, The B2W Group educates our apprentices on how to build effective social media campaigns and encourages them to plan and implement real campaigns. This coupled with the help of the team at Shelton Associates, Tiegan will be set in the right direction to build the company’s social media following.

Would you recommend an apprenticeship to others?

Apprenticeships are a great way to gain valuable experience whilst working towards a qualification. Tiegan is one of many apprentices that would recommend this route to others.

“I would definitely recommend an apprenticeship to others since you are learning new skills but you are also working and putting these skills into practice straight away!”

We look forward to seeing Tiegan develop her digital marketing skills!
