Ella Birkbeck
Marketing Publications Apprentice, Jet2Holidays
Though I always enjoyed the academia aspect of school, I felt like university wouldn’t give me the confidence heading into the working well, that I needed the most. My apprenticeship has given me the best insight into the marketing industry, whilst still learning on the job. I want other people in the same position I was in to know that university is not the only option out there, so hope I can do that being part of the network 😊
