We have recorded a special podcast episode to celebrate National Apprenticeship Week 2025!
In this episode, we sat down with Courtney in our state-of-art podcast studio, a former apprentice who has earned a distinction in her Level 3 Business Administration apprenticeship. As part of National Apprenticeship Week, Courtney shares her experiences, from starting out as an adult apprentice to landing her current role as Events Coordinator Lead at the College.
We also hear from her assessor, Katy Bridge, who’s been part of our apprenticeship team for over eight years. Katy talks us through how apprenticeships work, the support apprentices receive, and why apprentices are key to business growth. She also covers funding options for employers and how to sign up with Oldham College.
Courtney offers valuable advice for young people and parents considering apprenticeships, including the benefits, career progression, and why apprenticeships can be the right choice for some.
Listen to Courtney’s journey, to hear her advice for future apprentices, and the real impact apprenticeships can have on careers and businesses.
