Many of our apprentices move on to do great things and some are offered roles within the company. Dean Sidlow is one of these people.
“From a young age, I was always tinkering with electronic things, and that turned into a hobby building computers. I’d done it for such a long time, it made sense to try for a career in IT.”
In 2014, 18-year-old Dean became one of eight young people chosen to take part in the apprenticeship scheme, and he now works with us three days a week as a Mobile Device Specialist.
“It’s a busy job and I love it,” says Dean. “The transition from school to work felt a bit strange at first – at school you’re always told what to do, but here I’ve learnt to use my own initiative and control my own workload. The job has taught me a lot about self-management and discipline and I’m definitely a more mature person.”
Dean originally applied for the apprenticeship scheme through Manchester College, where they helped him with his application.
