“I started my experience straight from school and it was a bit daunting being a female in a male dominated industry but everyone was so welcoming and I would never say it was an issue so I definitely would recommend. My apprenticeship has always given me a taste of what is yet to come. I would like to become a commercial director and work across a range of high profile projects.”
”I’m really grateful to have won this award tonight. I’ve had a really good positive apprenticeship experience. I’ve worked on a few different projects and I’ve been able to see lots of different things. My employer has been really welcoming and lovely and my tutor at college was extremely helpful. It’s been a really good experience! Seeing the projects grow and develop was amazing and the most rewarding part of the experience.” — Charlotte Bingham
