School Leavers Podcast Wiser

Our School Leavers podcast is on a mission to raise awareness about the huge range of choices there are out there for young people after school. We're ditching the prehistoric stigmas around apprenticeships and diving into the incredible training and opportunities they offer.

In our first episode of the podcast, Shingie sits down (virtually) with Tom Culley, a Networks Apprentice at BT. They discuss why Tom went for an apprenticeship in the first place and what his journey has been like.
