Melissa, an Integration engineer, started her career as an apprentice, and three years on, reflects on her experience and how she came to do an apprenticeship –  “I have a degree in geography,” she explains. “But I saw an ad for an apprenticeship when I was looking for graduate positions and I thought it was an opportunity that would be worth exploring. I’m quite a hands-on, practical person and it seemed like the sort of position I would enjoy.”
