Alice - B2B Sales Apprentice
I’m lucky enough that I get a whole day a week to focus on my uni work, where I spend time completing modules for my assignments, this makes it really easy to be able to separate my uni and work life, which was one of my initial concerns when starting my apprenticeship.

Richard - joined in 1986
The main attraction to start my career via the apprenticeship route was to “earn while you learn”, with the opportunity to back-up classroom learning with practical, hands-on experience. The apprenticeship allowed me to be independent – to continue in higher education without relying on funding from my parents or taking on student debt.
