Newry BID employee Aaron Bradley, a Higher Level Apprentice student at Southern Regional College has been awarded the Best Higher-Level Apprentice Award at the Newry Chamber Employee and Team Awards 2022 which was held earlier this month at the Canal Court Hotel, Newry.
Aaron is a current student on the Digital Marketing, Advertising, and Communication Higher Level Apprenticeship Programme. He attends SRC one day a week and works the remaining four days at Newry BID, where he successfully manages the company's social media platforms, creates campaigns, and improves processes and reporting. The judges praised Aaron for how quickly he has adapted to his job role and for how much he has learnt!
This award was sponsored by the College and presented on the night by Lee Campbell, Director of Finance & Planning at Southern Regional College. Lee said “I am absolutely delighted that Aaron has received the Best Higher-Level Apprentice Award. It’s great to see Aaron’s dedication and hard work being recognised. He is a role model to all students, and I wish him every success in the future. Well done!”.
Southern Regional College currently offers ten different Higher-Level Apprenticeships which aim to equip individuals with both theoretical knowledge through the qualification and relevant technical and employability skills. They are an attractive alternative route as opposed to University.
