TELL US HOW YOU FIRST BECAME AN APPRENTICE:

I applied to apprenticeships in Y13 of school and spent time doing online and in-person interviews. This included assessment centres, one on one interviews and flying from Kent to Glasgow for 2 interviews.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR CURRENT APPRENTICESHIP ROLE:

I am an IT consultant, specifically working with ServiceNow in the cybersecurity sector.

TELL US WHY YOU WANTED TO BECOME AN APPRENTICE AMBASSADOR:

I want to be an ambassador because I’m passionate about my work and promoting alternatives to university, especially in an economy which is hard to live in if you don’t have work experience or a job lined up right after graduating. I think that ensuring students know about apprenticeships, internships and other ways of getting work experience is very important to creating a well-rounded workforce for the future.
