"I never thought I'd be able to land a position in publishing without a degree, let alone at 19, but the apprenticeships available at Bloomsbury have made that possible. Every day I am bloan away about how cool my job is; I get to work on big brand name authors, attend industry events, order in book-themed merchandise for campaigns, plan digital ads and collate press round ups, all whilst working with incredible colleagues. I've already gained so much valuable marketing and publicity experience, and improved my overall confidence, since I joined!" - Erin, Adult Trade Marketing and Publicity Team
"The Bloomsbury apprenticeship has been invaluable. It has given me the opportunity to contribute to exciting books and projects, including running marketing campaigns. It has significantly expanded my understanding of academic marketing and the publishing industry as a whole. I'm enormously grateful to work with such a supportive team, who have constantly encouraged my professional growth and offered me new opportunities to learn." - Lucy Trotter, Professional Publishing Apprentice
