MOGGS SUPPORTS NEW NATIONAL DIPLOMA SCHEME

 
 
Derby based Moggs Marketing Communications has become the first company in the East Midlands to become a Champion for Creative and Media students studying on the new national Diploma. The Diploma, which was pioneered by Sir Alan Jones of Toyota Manufacturing, celebrated its first birthday at an event in London earlier this week and was attended by Employer Champions from across the country. Guests included Schools Minister Rt. Hon. Jim Knight MP who said that the Diploma was set to make a significant contribution to the quality and employability of students in the future. The Diploma Employer Champions Network (DECN) also unveiled the results of some national research figures  ,  the following based on a survey of young people in the East Midlands. The national average calling for greater employer involvement was about 69 per cent, so the EM   is  slightly higher than average. Here are the key stats:
  • 71% of Year 11 students in the East Midlands would work harder if their studies were linked to employment
  • 73% believe work-related study can help land their ideal job
  • Almost 60% think they will find an ideal job after leaving full-time education   
Moggs Managing Director, Roger Moggs said that he was enthused by the opportunity to help coach young people wishing to develop a career in the creative and media industries. "The Diploma provides opportunities for students to experience valuable work-based learning which will help them develop transferable skills like effective communication, teamwork and commercial business systems. We are passionate about our creative product and it will be rewarding to share our experiences with young people looking to enter the sector", Roger said.
