The apprenticeship has a large focus on building skills we can use throughout our professional careers.
Do you feel that the apprenticeship at UHY has provided you with skills for life?
Yes, the apprenticeship has a large focus on building skills we can use throughout our professional careers. For example, part of the apprenticeship includes attending workshops which focusses on building data, leadership, project management, assessing risk and problem-solving skills. These skills are built on throughout the day by completing group exercises and a group presentation, which in turn builds our presentation and communication skills. In addition, we are all assigned a skills couch who we conduct quarterly meetings with to reflect on what skills we have developed recently and to discuss skills we can improve on.
What are you particularly proud of since starting your career with UHY?
I am most proud of passing 4 of my professional level ACA exams.
What has been your personal highlight about your time at UHY so far?
My personal highlight would have to be taking part in Tough Mudder 2023 for our national charity, Teenage Cancer Trust.
