We are back with another episode! Join us as we discuss apprenticeships with Sarah-Jane (SJ) and Lequesha, two fabulous Engineers who both started their careers with an apprenticeship.

Lequesha was born in Goa, India and moved to the UK at a young age. She recently secured a degree apprenticeships with Rolls Royce where she is currently working on drones and 3D printing.

SJ started her career over 20 years ago as an apprentice and completed an engineering technician apprenticeships with BAE Systems. She has worked on numerous aspects of the engineering lifecycle and is currently seconded to the MoD as a Programme Director.

In this episode we discuss the perception of apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships and its changing narrative. SJ and Lequesha also highlight the wide variety of apprenticeships in every industry as well as the disparity in apprenticeships in the North and South of England.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did! We would love to hear from you and anything you would like to share on this topic!
