Marketing Apprentice Shannon Harrison explains why she chose to do an apprenticeship, saying: "I was always encouraged by my teachers at Lancaster Girls’ Grammar School to follow an academic route, but this didn’t really appeal to me.

"After completing my L3 Business & Enterprise course at LMC, I chose an Apprenticeship as my next step because I wanted to develop marketing skills in a real work environment and to learn from those with experience in the industry. I've loved my time as an apprentice and particularly enjoy the Skills Development Academy which allows me to focus on areas I want to develop.”
