During my traineeship year, I worked within the asset management industry in the marketing team. In my trainee cohort, there were people going on to apprenticeships, and I saw that big companies do hire them too. So I started to look for marketing specific apprenticeships. I ended up applying for the Digital Marketing Apprenticeship scheme at Google. In the beginning I was worried about the choice I made. In my year at school almost everybody went to university. But when I started working and had conversations with people in my industry, I started to realise university wasn’t the only way.
