Finding out more about Apprenticeships

Our students' interest in apprenticeships has been growing year on year. Our Apprenticeships Information Evening allowed over 100 of our students and parents to obtain information, advice and guidance from current apprenticeships providers. 

Keynote speeches were given by Warwick University, who is a leading provider of degree apprenticeships, Liz Delaney, Director at Tecman, Jemima Cooke (OW 2018) who was amongst the first WGS students to complete a degree apprenticeship, and Ben Ward (OW 2021) who is currently at the beginning of his degree apprenticeship journey with PwC, whilst studying at Birmingham University. 

Later on, all enjoyed networking with apprenticeship providers in a multitude of sectors, including; Finance, Law, Real Estate, Armed Forces, Engineering, IT and Tech. Huge thanks to all our industry partners who attended to share their apprenticeships expertise with our parents and students and to our OWs Jemima and Ben, who were also joined by Mike Round (OW 2006), Abacus Wealth Services, Oliver Unitt (OW 2014), Deloitte, and Max Rumble (OW 2017), currently at Savills.
