Life as a Digital Apprentice
I’ve been mobile since I can
remember…
Raised around technology
All around me…
First iPad in 2010 –
I was 13 yrs old
Commodore 64 vs Game Cube
Lazier?? Automated?No ambition?
Baby boomers
Gen Y “The dumbest generation?”
Gen X
Gen Z (Digital natives)
I would work with a
lot of old people
If stereotypes are right…
Who are out of
touch with today’s
technology
With no fashion sense
Fast
A wealth of knowledge at my fingertips
Facebook ‘Needs’ You!
I am generation ‘Facebook’
I was 8 yrs old 13 yrs old and connected
in the virtual space
Facebook has its benefits
Connecting people
Share great content
Build new relationships
Staying in touch
Fan pages Brand awareness
Technology changes the education experience
Digital as a career?
Choices – College or Apprenticeship?
College isn’t for
everyone…
Formal didn’t
suit me
I found The Apprentice Academy online
‘Earn While You Learn’
Work experience
Ready for the workplace
Still getting qualifications

Spoke with my parents…
