Sarah, Level 2 Customer Service Practitioner apprentice
"An apprenticeship is for anyone. I had a degree and was slightly worried that undertaking the apprenticeship would be a step back, but it provided me with the office work experience I needed and networking opportunities to gain permanent work at LCC in a field I am extremely passionate about and I would encourage anyone to undertake one."

Case studies
Sam, Chartered Town Planner Degree ApprenticeshipSam has been a council employee for several years and is currently pursuing a Chartered Town Planner apprenticeship. Her journey so far has been incredibly positive, thanks to the strong support from her managers, family, and friends.
Studying at Sheffield Hallam University, Sam has discovered new aspects of planning that she hadn’t encountered in her workplace. When we asked her how she keeps her learning experience enjoyable, she shared, “I enjoy my job, so learning new theories, processes, and details is key for me. I also make sure to choose learning methods that suit my style, so it doesn’t feel like hard work.” This highlights how apprenticeships can cater to different learning preferences.
Sam has valuable advice for those starting their own apprenticeship: “Embrace all the new things you’re going to learn, and don’t hesitate to draw on others’ experiences and knowledge throughout your journey.”
Apprenticeships offer a unique blend of practical experience and academic learning, allowing individuals to gain valuable skills while earning a wage. They provide a pathway to career advancement and can significantly enhance professional growth.
