After finishing my A Levels, I realised that full-time university wasn’t the right step for me yet. I wanted to keep learning while trying something completely new, which led me to apply for a degree apprenticeship at BMW Group in Farnborough. Working in a new environment was challenging at first, but learning unfamiliar processes and developing new skills is exactly what I was looking for. BMW Group also encourages us to use our individual strengths – for me, speaking Spanish and having the opportunity to travel to other European locations was a big motivation.
My apprenticeship has been a brilliant experience. I was quite shy at first, but working across different parts of the business helped me build new skills and confidence. Supportive mentors and managers encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and take on challenges I wouldn’t have before. Having a mentor in my team gave me a regular point of contact to discuss concerns, set clear goals and track my progress, ensuring I developed the right knowledge, skills and behaviours throughout the apprenticeship.
