Meet the learners who’ve found new careers, built confidence, and transformed their lives through Orange Bow.

After I finished university, I kept missing out on job offers at the final hurdle, and it started to weigh on me. Then I discovered Orange Bow’s Digital Media & Marketing course. Enrolling allowed me to upskill in a professional environment and put those new skills to use during a social media apprenticeship role at Orange Bow itself. Today, I’m working as a Promo Creative at Sky, and I can look back on my time at Orange Bow with gratitude. The opportunities and guidance I received there made all the difference in helping me get where I am now.

I found Orange Bow’s Digital Promotions course through the Job Centre while looking to pivot from graphic design into a new field. I realised social media could be a gateway to earning a living, so I signed up. During the course, I discovered a passion for podcasting—learning about lighting, video editing, and using professional equipment. Thanks to Orange Bow’s willingness to give young people room to grow and develop, I carved out my own path in podcast production. Now, I’m in a position to help others in the same way Orange Bow helped me.

I didn’t have experience in relevant fields or the industry. I was not happy it was draining me emotionally and professionally. After joining Orange bow through one of the Digital Marketing courses, I was offered job as an administrative assistance and throughout the 5 months I gained the skills and confidence. Orange Bow has given me the opportunity to work in fields I have not had the experience before, like the Lambeth Youth Summit as well as being a part of a friendly and inspiring team really motivated me to bring out the best in me.

After graduating from university, I faced significant challenges in finding a job. Everything changed when I completed a digital promotion course. The training provided me with invaluable skills in marketing, design, and online promotion, and gave me the confidence to apply these in real-world scenarios. I secured a full-time position through the practical experience . The combination of the course and my work experience equipped me with the skills and confidence needed for my current 9-to-5 role, where I continue to grow and apply what I’ve learned.
