Amrita Singh ApprenticeThe Apprenticeship is a kick-start and it has helped me get my foot in the door. I have learned a lot on the job. I have gained a lot of experience and it’s been great working with professionals – I have had these people supporting me from day one.
Celdon Silveria TransputecI would always recommend an Apprenticeship, especially for the IT sector. The skills you need are constantly changing, and IT is a growing sector.
Connie Sandbrook IT Support Engineer @ NTTJust IT has been great from start to finish, from the moment I was introduced to Andrew Walker and David Spinks. I couldn’t thank everyone enough for all their support during my apprenticeship and I would definitely come back to Just IT in the future.
