“Before I started, I didn’t realise that apprenticeships were also for the adults in full time work. I thought that they were just for school leavers. I wish I had done it from school now because these days experience in the workplace counts for a lot as well as getting qualifications. You get a massive head start.”

Case Study: Laboratory ApprenticeshipPaul Robinson, Laboratory Analyst at Melbourn Scientific

“I am more confident, I know a lot more about my job and I now understand why I need to do what I do. I realised that I am capable of a lot more and I will be going on to further education in September.

My college tutor was a great help, not only with the course but she helped me with my applications for university, she gave me support for my work life, my college work and my personal life.”

“I chose to do an apprenticeship because there is a clear progression route and provides valuable work experience. I started on a level 2 accounting apprenticeship, progressed to level 3 and I am now doing level 4. On completion, it will be a natural progression route to undertake a Chartered Accountancy course. I feel that I have better employment prospects now.”
