Relevant Degree Not Essential

In the world of data where degrees are a requirement for STEM careers, we’ll explore the rising popularity of apprenticeships, and why these suit an otherwise unserved portion of learners. We’ll discuss the projects undertaken as part of the Apprenticeship, and the impact completing the course had.

Zoe is an Insights Analyst with a decade of experience across a number of industries such as Fashion, Insurance and Telecommunications. She is an ardent problem-solver, with a passion for furthering companies’ goals through the use of data. Zoe was the first person to complete the BCS Level 4 Data Science Apprenticeship in 2020 under the N Brown cohort, and received a Distinction.
