Mr. Jamie Bermingham:

A lot more could be done in transition year. I did my work experience in a garage, which was a big thing for me. It was kind of the dealbreaker. I knew after fourth year that this was what I was going to do. There definitely should be much more emphasis in school around apprenticeships. Schools should be pushing them more. Doing an apprenticeship is fantastic. It takes four years and you earn while you learn. When you come out, the whole world is in front of you. I qualified in January and I am now sitting back and thinking about what I will do for the foreseeable future. I am looking at going on to do a degree and moving up the ranks in work. It is fantastic. It is not just four years and then you are done. It is a whole lifetime of learning and opportunities. As I said in my opening statement, apprenticeships open numerous doors and opportunities. That is what is so great about them.
