CRC Apprentices recognised in Cambridgeshire Apprenticeship Awards

February 24, 2023

Cambridge Regional College’s marketing and events apprentice, Elle Walden, scooped the Behind-the-Scenes Award at the Cambridgeshire County Council’s second annual Cambridgeshire Apprenticeship Awards on 8 February 2023 during National Apprenticeship Week.

Up against competition from across the region, digital marketing apprentices at the college, Elle Walden and Maisie Southgate, had both been named as finalists in the awards; Elle in the Behind-the-Scenes category and Maisie in the Team Working category.

Elle Walden, 20, from Kings Lynn, attended Springwood High School in Kings Lynn, gaining great results at A-Level and decided to take the apprenticeship route after school instead of university. On winning her award and the benefits of an apprenticeship, Elle said: “I feel really honoured to have won an award which recognises the hard work that goes into completing an apprenticeship. I have really enjoyed learning in a fast-paced working environment and look forward to educating more prospective student in what it is like to take the apprenticeship route into a career.”

This accolade recognises the achievements of apprentices who provide essential support within their organisations and go above and beyond expectations.

The awards recognise and celebrates individuals who are current apprentices or have completed apprenticeships, as well as those who support apprenticeships.

Michelle Dowse, Deputy Principal at Cambridge Regional College, said: “National Apprenticeship Week is always a busy time for us celebrating all the fantastic things that the apprentices we train, and their employers do in our region. To be able to also celebrate and recognise our own Cambridge Regional College apprentices as an employer, is very special.”

“Congratulations to Elle and Maisie, our CRC marketing apprentices, on their success at the Cambridgeshire Apprenticeship Awards. We are very proud of you.”
