A BROMSGROVE-based creative agency is investing in talent of the future by offering paid apprenticeships to college leavers.

Superdream has welcomed two new apprentices in web development and web design. Andy Bates and Mason Bennett, both 18, attended colleges in Worcestershire before choosing an apprenticeship as an alternative to university.

As part of the Superdream team they will have the opportunity to work on a range of creative projects, acquire new skills and gain an insight into the design industry.

The agency has already been shortlisted for the ENEI Tapping Into Talent Award in recognition of its expanding apprenticeship programme and dedication to helping young people into work.

Superdream managing director Jason Manning said: “In today’s tough economic climate, it’s harder than ever for young people to secure that all-important first job in the design industry.

“At Superdream, we’re passionate about new ideas and are always on the lookout for fresh new talent. By offering paid apprenticeships to college leavers, we’re not only tapping into the talents of our local workforce, we’re helping to inspire tomorrow’s creative and digital minds.”
