KPMG Audit Apprentice

“I remember when I used to be attending YP's events to help me with my apprenticeship applications. Eventually I decided to become a YP ambassador to help promote these events aswell as get priority to in person events just due to the quality that these events offer. From expanding your network to offering insight into these programmes and work experience events. Here I am today on one of these apprenticeship programmes that I dreamt of undertaking and at one of the Big 4! I feel that YP opens many doors and the amount of events that is available to students and they are only getting bigger!”

“I highly recommend attending Young Professionals events. They have a wide variety of in-person and online experiences where you get to meet employers, network with current apprentices, and gain valuable industry insights. It is the reason I chose to apply to UBS and definitely a factor for me getting in.”

Trainee Solicitor

I attended a Young Professionals event in 2017 and was introduced to a number of employers offering apprenticeships. As a result I was able to find out more about the brand new Solicitor Apprenticeship route and met Browne Jacobson. Following the event I was lucky enough to attend work experience and went on to secure a role. I have now been at the firm for 6 years. Young Professionals helped me find my dream job and employer all in one day!

Consultant Apprentice

My experience with Young Professionals was amazing because the events they hosted had detailed information on the type of roles companies offered. As well as the different pathways and how to be applicable for them. The sessions had interactive activities and icebreakers to help the students become accustomed to some of the responsibilities that could occur in the role. Some examples of the events I participated in were Tech the Future, IBM’s Work Experience Day and JP Morgan’s Work Experience Day.
