Apprentice Stories

At Star Academies, our apprentices are an integral part of our growth and success. Apprenticeships can help individuals to develop the skills and knowledge required for a rewarding career, and employers to develop a workforce with future-ready skills.

We’ve asked some of our apprentices both past and present about their experiences and why they would recommend an apprenticeship to others.
