The apprenticeship allowed me to be work in the aerospace industry, both civil and defence. I was specifically trained to operate machinery which produced complex engine components to tight tolerances. Due to the nature of this apprenticeship, periodically, I was placed in areas of the company which helped me to develop skills in my specified job role on the shop floor as well as develop my business, project and people management skills. During this time I was involved in plenty of STEM activities around UK which developed my public speaking and events management skills. The most exciting opportunity I had was working with a team of experts on the Bloodhound Project.
