More of our students are being offered degree level apprenticeships after lengthy and testing assessment centres. The early stages are quite often online and require good employability skills to move up to the the later interview stages.
This means we are particularly proud of Patrick Makin for for securing a degree apprenticeship at the BBC based in Salford.
The placement is a 4-year degree apprenticeship and he will be working in research and development. The content of the apprenticeship includes developing AI, audio engineering training and work on things like smart wallpaper technology.
He went through around 8 stages of applications and Patrick was up against about 2000 other applicants. The apprenticeship comes with a pension and a permanent position at the BBC upon completion of his degree.
Congratulations Patrick we are so proud of you.
