Student stories

Daisy Coombes

Daisy completed her higher apprenticeship whilst working four days a week with JCB. Now in her final year of a part-time BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering with Sheffield Hallam, she also received the Bryan Hildrew Apprentice of the Year award in 2017.

For me, the best thing about an apprenticeship is that every day you have a new challenge and are able to develop yourself in ways I didn't imagine.

Joshua Parker

Joshua studies BSc Cyber Security at Sheffield Hallam, and works for Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council (BMBC).

I really like the networking aspect of the course, as I found that to be very useful for my role. In the course we get to explore so many things and I'm gaining so much experience from both studying and working in my Cyber Security post.
