Luke - Quality Engineer Apprentice

How has your apprenticeship helped with your future career aspirations?

My apprenticeship has given me a good foundation to work upon, I have been able to learn from colleagues who have worked for ASSA ABLOY for over 40 years. I have also been at college for the last 4 years and this has allowed me to meet so many different people and to see the different places they have been and that gives me a lot of motivation to move up within the company and take on amazing experiences. 

Shayla - Product Management Apprentice

What do you enjoy the most about your apprenticeship?

I enjoy my monthly reviews where I can sit and self-evaluate my progress and receive constructive feedback from my assessor and line manager. I also enjoy being able to promote apprenticeships to young people with the help from my training provider and ASSA ABLOY.
