"The Apprentices bring a real passion and enthusiasm into the department. It's given us an opportunity to provide training that we otherwise would not have been able to provide, and helps us support both health and fitness, as well as the operational elements of the business." Apprenticeships provide a great way to review skills gaps and provide real long-term benefit to your business. It also allows you to offer an opportunity to someone that otherwise wouldn’t have had it.”

"I thought when I started that the traditional way of going to university wasn't for me, this is a good way to break it down and carry on into the future. I felt like this course would keep my options open as I am still not too sure what I want to do."

“I have always been interested in cars, and started of wanting to be a mechanic, but when I discovered paint I loved it! It lets me express myself and show off my skills on the outside, rather than hidden under the bonnet. An Apprenticeship is a really beneficial route and definitely pays off in the long term. Exeter College has helped in every single way, particularly catering for my dyslexia, and my lecturer makes attending College a pleasure!”
