How Apprentify Revolutionised Workforce Development at Jet2

Identifying Jet2’s Needs

At the outset, we conducted in-depth consultations with Jet2 to gain a comprehensive understanding of their unique requirements. By delving into their objectives, skills gaps, and industry demands, we were able to identify specific areas where our apprenticeship programs could make a substantial impact.

Marketing Executive Apprentice

Hi, I'm Chloe. I'm doing a Marketing Executive apprenticeship at Jet2, working in the Customer Experience and Branding team, which means I handle everything you see in the airport, overseas, and on the aircraft. It’s been great so far—everyone in my team is so lovely, and there’s a strong collaborative atmosphere at Jet2. You never feel silly asking questions or approaching someone, no matter how high up they are.

I'm Eva, and I am a Level 4 Public Relations and Communications apprentice at Jet2. This is my second apprenticeship—I've already completed my Level 3 in Marketing, and now I'm progressing my career at Jet2, specifically in Public Relations. When I started at Jet2 and began this new apprenticeship, I was a bit apprehensive due to some negative work experiences in the past.
