Apprenticeship
'alternance' work-study contract
HR & Educational Dev. Apprentice 2023 - 2024
I wanted to requalify with a more vocational Masters course. I thought an 'alternance' would be a great way to do this without adding to my student debt, giving me the chance to put my learning into practice as I go!
