Yes

9b. Why?

The Graduate Apprenticeship at SLA has allowed me to study for my degree and ICAS qualifications while also being able to learn and gain experience in the workplace. This has helped me understand the theory and put it into context within the business while I'm learning. Both the University and SLA mentors have been supportive and recognise my learning as being as much of a priority as my work.
