Comments about Apprentice 19:

First From students:
“It has opened my eyes to careers I had never considered”

“Wow! Print is amazing!!”

“ Apprentice 19 was very informative, as I was able to speak to a variety of people from different industries. I had not thought about a career in the printing industry. However, after seeing the vast range of jobs in the sector, from design to engineering, I am now going to explore career options in print. Thank you for a wonderful experience.”

From a teacher: “ What a great event, I wish we had brought more students.”

From a current Apprentice, “ I wish we had had an event like this when I was thinking about joining an apprenticeship.”
