With National Apprenticeship week nearly here, we've been chatting to some of BMW's young apprentices all about the scheme and how it works for them.

How did you decide which Apprenticeship to do?
I have always wanted to work for a bigger company and he felt that the apprenticeship in engineering was the best route for me.
 
What are the benefits of doing an Apprenticeship?

Learning all the skills at college and applying in the workplace.

What advice would you give someone making the decision to go to university or to do an Apprenticeship? Decide whether you would like to do something hands on or be in a class room. Also what my interests are and how you can have a career based on your interests.

I will have my qualifications, my experience working in all areas and  hopefully a job to go into and a long career within BMW
