As part of National Apprenticeship Week, I’ve been reflecting on my journey so far as the Marketing Apprentice at Business Durham, the business support service for Durham County Council.
My name is Grace Bell, and I joined the organisation in September 2025 as part of the wider Durham County Council apprenticeship programme cohort. In just a few months, I’ve already gained valuable experience and developed skills that are helping me build a strong foundation for a career in marketing.
I am currently completing a Level 3 Multi-Channel Marketing Apprenticeship with Ginger Nut Training. This allows me to combine practical, hands-on workplace experience with structured learning, helping me apply new knowledge directly to my role.
