We talked to three successful GBS apprentices:

Facilities Officer Oliver Holt, is a great example of how the GBS apprenticeship scheme nurtures and develops the next generation of talent. Oliver was supported throughout his apprenticeship by the regional facilities manager and his colleagues, and he said: “The support I received at GBS helped shape my confidence, my skills, and my career. I’m proud to have started as an apprentice — and even prouder to continue my journey here.”
 
Thezy Sunga, HR Support Apprentice said: "I'm so glad I chose the apprenticeship route. The support and flexibility have been fantastic, particularly the six hours of protected study time each week, which allows me to balance my learning alongside my day-to-day responsibilities."
 
Kaif Ahmed completed his first apprenticeship as Data Tech Level 3 and after securing a full-time position he is now on his Level 4 apprenticeship and promoted to Junior Data Analyst. He explained: "An apprenticeship isn't just about gaining a qualification, it's about proving that with commitment and continuous learning, opportunity can become progression."
