Advice to students

I would recommend that anyone who’s even the slightest bit curious to do the research and not be afraid to apply! Going through the application process is useful as it reveals the many opportunities available (often far more than what was advertised). Many big companies have great apprenticeship schemes, and those names can really enhance your CV, making you more marketable in the future.

I’d really encourage people to go for it!
