What Do Our Apprentices Think?

Having an apprenticeship at Expect has put me a step forward in my career.

I believe the work experience I am getting through being here, is more valuable than the path I could have chosen, which would have been doing college 5 times a week. With still only being young, I think this apprenticeship is the best route to take through the valuable skills I have gained already with only being here for just short of 2 months, (the money is nice as well).

I have enjoyed going and meeting lots of different people at all the sites at Expect and I appreciate how easy-going everybody is, as they have helped me fit in quickly.

What Do Our Interns Think?

I joined Expect in 2023, having just completed by second year of my degree in Business Management through Aston University.

During the interview and selection process, I found myself being very bought in by the flexibility Expect offered their colleagues and would provide for me me, not only in terms of working hours which enables me to maintain a good work life balance, but also through varied placements enabling me to gain an in depth understanding into various aspects of the business.

What I love most about Expect is the team is everyone is approachable and friendly! As a student and being new the industry I asked a lot of questions, and everyone was supportive in helping me learn and grow.
