Choosing my Destination
When choosing my destination, I sought advice from my family. My college lecturer was also very helpful.
Extra Curricular & Work Experience
I gained invaluable experience through my foundation apprenticeship. The work based learning part of the course confirmed to me that this was what I wanted to pursue as a career.
Skills I've developed
I developed skills in communication and confidence through trying new challenges and putting myself out of my comfort zone.
My Advice
My advice to other would be to think about what career you want to go into at a young age, this will help what subjects you will pick at school.
