I know many of you will be reading this at what feels like a key moment in your life. It was just a few years ago when my own two sons were at this point, weighing up their options and getting ready to take the next step in their careers.
- Baljinder Kang, Executive Director of Corporate Resources
"Right from day one, there was a real emphasis on making sure we all have the best opportunities to grow our careers and get the most out of this experience. In just one year, I’ve worked on some really ambitious projects, implemented new features in our applications, been responsible for the maintenance of our customer-facing lettings portal, shadowed teams to get a better understanding of how the business works, and much more."
"The best thing about a degree
apprenticeship? It has to be the pay
and experience. I cannot express how
invaluable it is that within the next three
years, I’ll be a qualified accountant with
a university degree, debt-free and with
bags more experience than those who
took the traditional uni route. I’m already
starting to save for my house deposit,
which wouldn’t have been possible if I
hadn’t taken this course!"
“For me, doing a degree apprenticeship was a no brainer. Being able to study and do a degree I enjoy – all whilst gaining valuable experience – was the reason I choose this route. The thing I enjoy most about working here is how welcoming and friendly the people are. As part of the apprenticeship, I had the opportunity to shadow different departments to gain as much understanding of the whole business as possible and no matter where I’ve been, everyone has welcomed me with open arms, encouraged questions, and was always happy to talk. It’s a real community and the work spirit is fantastic.”
“Doing a degree apprenticeship is a great way in getting a qualification whilst gaining relevant workplace experience. So far, I’ve been able to network with industry professionals, develop relevant skills and create a pathway to further opportunities – all whilst seeking out other challenges that can develop my knowledge further. Working at Midland Heart, you also get the satisfaction of knowing that your work is making a difference too.”
