Stuart Parker, the Academy’s Enterprise Advisor (also of In-Comm Training), came to visit the Academy to talk to Year 12 and 13 students about Apprenticeships in Business and Engineering as an alternative option to university. The students found the session very useful. Stuart will be working with more of our students in the future.
