Sarah, Level 2 Customer Service Practitioner apprentice
"An apprenticeship is for anyone. I had a degree and was slightly worried that undertaking the apprenticeship would be a step back, but it provided me with the office work experience I needed and networking opportunities to gain permanent work at LCC in a field I am extremely passionate about and I would encourage anyone to undertake one."

Case studies
Dalton came straight out of school and joined the council on an apprenticeship, here’s what he shared:
Apprenticeships give you the opportunity to get a qualification while also earning a full-time salary, meaning you don’t need the additional stress of having a part-time job while focusing on getting a qualification. My apprenticeship so far has been brilliant. I started in September 2023, and the opportunities I have already been offered have been amazing, such as getting the chance to go to the National Drainage Show in London. I've visited various locations all over Lincolnshire to study their drainage systems and have been developing my knowledge by seeing sites in person and receiving mentorship.
I think apprenticeships are a no-brainer. Schools don’t always advocate for apprenticeships, but they are incredible at giving you the opportunity to earn while you learn. The apprenticeship has exceeded everything I imagined, and I am so happy to be on this journey. After completing my level 3 apprenticeship, I want to move on to a Civil Engineering Degree Apprenticeship, which allows me to gain experience and a degree without the dreaded student debt.
