Lisa Hutchinson “I didn’t consider University after A -Levels because I knew higher education wasn’t for me. I wanted to do something that would allow me to develop business skills, get my qualification and have hands on experience whilst earning a wage at the same time. The apprenticeship has given me confidence, I’ve developed my skills and learned how to be more efficient and manage my time. I’ve taken on a lot more responsibility and made some lifelong work relationships and friendships. Unilever has a great development culture; there are training schemes, seminars and so many senior people to learn from. It’s a great way to get hands on experience and further your career!”
Father & son, Jim & Josh Carew “Josh has quickly developed into a confident and committed young man who knows his destiny is in his own hands. A Unilever apprenticeship is truly a strong alternative to university to provide a solid foundation for future professional development and employment.
