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.”
