Academy > Physical academy

Each programme in our physical academy has been carefully designed to be accessible to people of all ages and all social backgrounds. In each group we bring together we look to create a ‘Noah’s Ark’ of the community – a cross-section of people helping and supporting each other to rise out of unemployment.

All training takes place within Whitebox Digital branch offices and as such all trainees are expected to act and behave like employees of our company – which provides a perfect environment to teach and coach the workplace skills and etiquette required in a modern workplace.
