A Great First Visit to Uppingham School!

Dale at Uppingham School

Dale had the pleasure of visiting Uppingham School in Rutland for the first time to talk all things Degree Apprenticeships.

He delivered two sessions - one for Year 12, and one for Year 13, and both groups were really engaged.

The Year 12s also heard from Exeter University about the more traditional route into a Russell Group university.

It was great that the students were able to see how these pathways can complement each other — especially since Exeter University offers Degree Apprenticeships in partnership with major organisations such as JP Morgan.

It really helped students see that university and apprenticeships aren’t necessarily “either/or” options anymore, but two ways to reach the same goal.

After each presentation, he had a whole bunch of 1-to-1 chats with students who wanted to dig deeper into how Degree Apprenticeships work, and what opportunities are out there.

A big thank you to Sam Dewhurst for inviting Dale in, and to Luciane Guntner from Stowe School for recommending him — My Great First Job really appreciate the support. 🙌
