Why an occupational therapy apprenticeship was right for me?

National Apprenticeships Week (3 to 9 February 2020) is here and celebrates and promotes all that is great about apprenticeships. It gives us a great opportunity to shine a light on our inspiring apprentices.

An apprenticeship combines on the job practical work experience, whilst studying, allowing you to gain experience and achieve a recognised qualification and earning an income.
