BACK STORY: 'One thing I have thoroughly learned is to keep asking questions'

摘要

I'm a manufacturing engineering degree apprentice, creating and updating processes for the manufacture of critical aerospace components. Engineering as a profession has always been the right fit for me. Despite being a good student in school, I always had in the back of my mind that work experience was more important for my future career than anything else. Attending a Russell Group university was my Plan B. Before completing my A Levels, I did some work experience at a nuclear power station in Hartlepool. This two-month experience was organised through a mentoring scheme and confirmed to me that there was no point in going back to the intensely academic environment of university for three years, when I was really keen to apply my knowledge, interest and expertise.
