–
Araba, 19 joined Apprentice Nation when she was job-seeking and went on to be a member of the platform’s Youth Advisor’s Network, gaining additional support on her journey as well as helping others achieve their goals. She is now a Digital Marketing Apprentice at Google:
“Apprentice Nation has given me so many tips and boosts to my confidence – to network and ask for advice from people in positions that I aspire to be in; even small things ‘like what to wear to an interview – have been really helpful.
Being able to chat with a mentor through my Apprentice Nation journey has really allowed me to understand my career path and the work I need to put in to get to where I want to be. “
Abdullah, 22, was looking for work when he signed up to Apprentice Nation. He is now a Data Consultant Apprentice at Cognizant. He says:
“Apprentice Nation was a massive help for me during the application process. They really give you a sense of what the real-world situation is when you’re looking for jobs. One of the best pieces of advice they gave me was to tailor my CV for each job I was applying for. I ended up with 30 different versions of my CV – but it was worth it in the end.”
