Real SFX
Carmela Carrubba

"Recruiting apprentices has become an integral part of Real SFX’s growth in recent years and we’ve been working with the Sgil Cymru team since 2011. With the bespoke apprenticeship scheme that Sgil Cymru offers, our apprentices gain a Diploma qualification as well as a 12-months on-the-job practical experience at our workshop.

Sgil Cymru is Wales’ lead media training provider and their knowledge and expertise won’t be matched anywhere else. I highly encourage anyone wanting to expand their workforce to employ a creative media apprentice through Sgil Cymru."

"As an employer, when taking on apprentices it is vital that you have complete confidence in your training provider to support the apprentices and provide learning that matches the ever-changing requirements of the industry.

Sgil Cymru’s vast experience of providing industry training and delivering it via industry professionals can give prospective employers the reassurance that they may seek when taking on apprentices for the first time. While their record of apprentices attaining their qualifications and going on to forge successful careers in the sector is second to none.

Sgil Cymru work in partnership with you right from the beginning –ensuring that the right individuals are matched to the correct jobs and the classroom training received enhances the apprentices’ workplace learning.

I can say without hesitation, that BBC Cymru Wales success employing and retaining apprentices is only possible because of the comprehensive knowledge, support and delivery that Sgil Cymru offers."

"I have worked with most of the Sgil Cymru team for the past 4 years in my capacity as Dean of Work Based Learning at Cardiff & Vale College and in my role as the Head of the QSA our Work Based Learning division.

What can I say about Sgil Cymru? They are really fantastic to work with. More importantly they deliver excellence, in terms of teaching and learning, to the Apprentices they recruit on behalf of media organisations in Wales.They put the learner first and then coach that young person towards succeeding in their apprenticeship pathway and then steering them to sustained employment. I’ve enjoyed working with this great team and would recommend them to any employer or learner."
