Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
No two projects will look exactly the same. You could be creating a new piece of digital learning one day, helping promote a learning campaign the next, or testing out a new tool to see how it could improve the colleague learning experience.
Here’s some of what you’ll get involved in:
- Creating digital learning content including e-learning, videos, guides, infographics and other resources
- Bringing ideas to life, working with Learning Leads, Trainers and subject experts to turn learning needs into engaging digital solutions
- Supporting our Learning Hub, helping keep content accurate, accessible, organised and up to date
- Creating digital assets and promotional content for learning programmes, events and campaigns
- Helping tell our learning stories, sharing updates, successes and best practice through our communications
- Uploading and testing digital content, making sure everything works as it should
- Exploring new technology and digital tools to find fresh ways of helping colleagues learn
- Gathering feedback and using it to continually improve the learning experiences we create
Most importantly, you won’t just be watching from the sidelines. You’ll be getting involved in real work that helps colleagues across Yorkshire Housing learn, develop and perform at their best.
And while you're doing all that, you'll be working towards a Level 5 Digital Learning Designer Apprenticeship, giving you the chance to build your experience and gain a recognised qualification at the same time.
This is all about learning while doing. You’ll be developing your skills while working on real learning projects at Yorkshire Housing, putting what you learn through your apprenticeship into practice.

This Will Be a Mix of Working From Home and
