National Apprenticeship Week!
At Hopkins we value our apprentices and the fantastic contribution that they bring to our organisation.Ā Our apprenticeship programme is thriving with 18 members currently undertaking training in different areas of the company, which will help support our business direction plan over the coming years.
To help celebrate we asked two of our design apprentices, past and present, to share their thoughts and experiences.Ā Ben Sherwood, who is at the beginning of his career andĀ Jason Parker, who is well into his career and a great example for our apprentices that ‘the sky’s the limit’ with hard work and determination.Ā
