Swarm Apprenticeships

Swarm focuses on developing young business apprentices in Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex by supporting them to become commercially aware, enterprising and effective to deliver the greatest return on investment for your business.

Building on a successful start in Norfolk, social enterprise Swarm Apprenticeships Ltd have partnered with the RSA to strengthen their quest in Norwich to liberate and support young and talented business heroes through enterprising apprenticeships.

Founded by successful entrepreneur and bestselling business author, Robert Ashton FRSA, Swarm aims to develop young business apprentices across Norfolk, Suffolk and soon Essex. They support them to become commercially aware, enterprising and effective to their employers to deliver the greatest return on investment for businesses. Swarm offers a unique enterprise qualification and strives to grow enterprising attitudes in young people.

The RSA backs Swarm as part of their Catalyst initiative which supports RSA Fellows to get their innovative ideas and projects growing into new areas.

How to get involved

In March and April, Swarm strengthens their quest with an introduction event for local enterprising business owners who want to give a real opportunity for a young person to make an impact in their business and become an Enterprise Hero. The event will be held in 3 differnet locations: Colchester (Mercury Theatre, 3 March), Ipswich (UCS, 8 March) and Norwich (The Garage, 14 April). Local employers are encouraged to attend to hear from Swarm’s Founder, partner representatives about why the quest is important to the local area, and current business and apprentice champions.
