The system of apprenticeship, first recorded in the Middle Ages, is a long-established practice that we are extremely proud to be a part of at Gallium Ventures. The progress of any service, craft or skill stops if you don't look ahead to the future and prepare the next generation to face the challenges that will come. For us, taking on apprentices is always a win for both sides of the arrangement.

Interviewer: “So, what do you know about PR?”Me: Okay, think, what do you know about PR? Why don’t I know this?“Honestly, nothing.”I followed with, “I hope I can better answer that question in a few weeks.” Landing the illustrious internship was just the beginning, the next step was figuring out what I wanted from this internship: what skills do I want to acquire and will I forge a career in this industry? My intention was to approach tasks confidently, take initiative, absorb knowledge like a sponge and eventually try to understand the bigger picture. It was easy to see Gallium was...

These issues include climate change, global public health, and of course, racial discrimination. In the wake of the global Black Lives Matter movement, which has been brought to the forefront of the news due to the public outcry after the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, this...

It shows us how diverse teams can often lead to creativity as well as better insight into the areas in which a team works. At Gallium Ventures, we believe apprenticeships are incredibly important and shouldn’t be overlooked as part of the hiring process as they provide an incredibly valuable experience for both companies and talent alike. The UK Government recognises this too, as we are...

We face stressors in our day-to-day life. This is nothing new, even as a child I’m sure you can remember the torment of going to school. We spend years of education, gaining both useful and useless information.

Everything is motivated by the need to build a CV that will get a 2-second scan by a potential employer (or nowadays, an AI algorithm) to determine if we checked enough boxes. The...
