“Currently undertaking a Level 5 Apprenticeship in People Management, I’ve applied HR theory in practice from my HRBP role to my current Operations Manager role in France. The apprenticeship has strengthened my strategic people skills, enhancing my approach to leadership.

I’d highly recommend an apprenticeship to anyone—after being out of education for years, I never thought I’d take on something academic again, but it’s been a great experience!”
