Education, Training & Skills

Katie Ball is well on her way to

completing a Level 3 in Business

Administration. She says choosing an

Apprenticeship was the best decision

she has ever made.

She said:

“After my GCSEs I gained

a Level 2 Apprenticeship with a local

company then switched to West

Suffolk College to the Level 3. I will

be able to complete my Level 3 in

just over a year and I am planning

to go to UCS Bury St Edmunds in

September to study Business

Management. My Apprenticeship

has given me great experience and

I feel very prepared and excited

about my future career.”
