"I’m with Apprenticeships because it's the ideal next step in my career. It’s a great way to learn because you are working with different skilled people who can help you to build up your knowledge. It's the best decision I ever made as it's opened so many doors.”

Anton Samy - Apprentice, John Doyle Construction Ltd

"I’m with Apprenticeships because each day at work is different and there is no monotony in it. It’s been hands on from day one and I enjoy learning by actually doing the job rather than just watching.”

Stuart Gould - Apprentice, D-Drill (Master Drillers) Ltd

"I’m with Apprenticeships because I can learn on the job. It’s good to be part of a team working on lots of interesting projects. My confidence has grown and I’m earning a wage whilst I train which is an added bonus.”

Mitchell Sharp - Apprentice, Wilson & Wylie Contracts Ltd

"I’m with Apprenticeships because it’s more than a qualification, it’s experience too which is more valuable.”

Kyle Yeomans - Apprentice, Oaklands College

"I’m with Apprenticeships because I am really enjoying my time on the programme. In the nine months I have been an apprentice, I have gained an NVQ Level 2 and have massively developed my skills and knowledge. It has given me that vital stepping stone to achieve and succeed."

Holly Barratt - Apprentice, London Borough of Newham

"I’m with Apprenticeships because when I finished school I had lost hope for my future, but this Apprenticeship has helped me gain a qualification and improve my skills, as well as my confidence.  I applied to be Newham’s Young Mayor and am now a member of the Youth Council."

Faheem Dharma - Apprentice, London Borough of Newham

"I'm with Apprenticeships because I knew I wanted to go into Business and retail and I love the idea of gaining experience and a qualification at the same time."

Victoria Fox - Apprentice, Boots

"I’m with Apprenticeships because I know from personal experience and from the experiences of friends and work colleagues that an Apprenticeship can be a tremendous learning experience and a springboard for a successful career. My career has developed tremendously in a relatively short time and the Apprenticeship experience was invaluable."

Anthony Bromirski - Quality and Group Services Director, Remit Ltd

"Apprenticeships are great, because at college I am learning about the front-end design – logos and websites as users and audiences see them – which is a really good way of bringing on my skills and making my approach more complete. I’ve been given lots of responsibility here, which I love. I am really excited to be here and thoroughly enjoy learning from the team."

Jordan Airzee - IT Support Apprentice, Two Four Group

"My advice to anybody thinking of a career in the Creative Media Industries is – don’t dismiss an Apprenticeship, look into it as an alternative to formal study. On my Apprenticeship, I am being trained. I am having things explained and taught to me that I would have had no chance at all of accessing if I had stayed at school. I am being encouraged to develop independence and I am growing more confident every day."

Jordan Shahin - Digital Medai Apprentice, Two Four Group
