Further Information
The Apprentices’ view…
‘This opportunity has provided me with a fantastic
stepping stone into a career that I now love’
‘I study for my accreditations but also obtain on the job
training from the company and learn directly from them’
‘I always knew I wanted to work in IT, but didn’t know
how to do it…that’s when I applied for an apprenticeship’
