I spoke with Kardelen Keskin, who chose to leave school and start an apprenticeship at Mindshare and has now recently moved to OMD. If you are interested in what it is like to enter an apprenticeship, what it takes and what it is like to be working in an office environment for the first time, this is for you.

I have spoken in many state schools over many years to children and young adults about getting into advertising. I have welcomed small groups into Spotify for work placement schemes and been impressed by how bright and determined they are. At the same time, our industry is still a Graduate first industry, much as we talk about diversity and inclusion, it remains a blind spot. We are used to hearing from successful people and their advice, but I thought it might be interesting to hear from those who have left school and come into advertising or are trying. Perhaps we could learn from them.
