Deputy Chief Executive, said: “The project was designed to enable


small and medium-sized enterprises to develop their digital knowledge in a range of technology areas, primarily focused on exploiting high speed broadband to facilitate online marketing, ecommerce, cloud computing and website development. “The project was very well received and supported a

The eBusiness Club’s Emmie Bramley (pictured) has passed her Level 3 Business Administration apprenticeship and is now a fully- fledged Chamber employee. Emmie, 20, chose the


apprenticeship route rather than university because she preferred the option of earn-and-learn over pay-to-learn. She also wanted the experience


of working and was aware that she could take the Level 3 qualification and work experience into university if she wanted to go back into academia. As an apprentice, Emmie

had been involved in all aspects of the eBusiness Club, from collating data to processing funding applications and claims, sending out eshots and helping to plan events. Emmie joined the Chamber


straight from Sixth Form at Tupton Hall School. She said: “I was looking at the


different options available and wanted to get some work experience. The opportunity to work for the Chamber as an apprentice came at just the right time. I’m happy to be a permanent Chamber employee and believe there is plenty


of scope for career progression.” eBusiness Club Manager Jon


Egley said: “There is a clear link between business success and the uptake of digital technology in the workplace. “In order for Emmie to be an


effective member of the team she had to develop skills in a broad range of business administration disciplines, including data recording and analysis, social media management and cloud- based services. “We’re delighted Emmie has


graduated from apprentice to employee. She’s a real asset to the eBusiness Club and the Chamber.”
