About WYK
WYK was created with a simple mission to help underrepresented young people launch careers in digital while at the same time supporting businesses in widening their talent pool.
Our digital marketing skills accelerator has proven over the last two years that anyone can launch a successful career in digital marketing regardless of background, education or prior experience. We have trained over 160 young people in Performance Marketing and supported over 80% of our candidates in to digital roles.
Our accelerator has three main goals:
To give young people the skills and knowledge to gain a solid understanding of digital marketing;
Enable those young people to apply those skills in a real world context
Give them the confidence to talk about these concepts outside of our programme
We run accelerators nationwide in collaboration with The Prince’s Trust and collaborate with some of the biggest employers in the digital world. We have an amazing trainer team back by a fantastic cast of supporters and volunteers.
