"I saw data as something that is always going to be needed in every company. I wanted learn somewhere with hands-on experience, which I would say is as important as the qualification, and that's something that you get much more in an apprenticeship. In my day-to-day role I troubleshoot people's issues and make databases to make everyone's life easier.”
“Originally I was trying to get into med school but couldn’t garner enough funding. I had heard about apprenticeships in school before so I thought I should give that a try. Now, I’m getting paid to learn something I love to do and I really do feel I could become anything and that the sky’s the limit. I think apprenticeships are inclusive, flexible, and challenging.”
