Success Story from Project 13!

Project 13 Success

We're proud to share an inspiring success from Project 13, an initiative delivered by My Great First Job with funding from Aspire Higher.

Running across 20 schools in Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire, Project 13 offers hands-on workshops and one-to-one coaching to help young people successfully apply for Higher and Degree Apprenticeships.

🌟 Meet Ruby, a student from Kingswood School in Corby, who has just secured a Degree Apprenticeship!

Here’s what Ruby had to say:

“Dale Willis' Degree Apprenticeship sessions played a key role in helping me secure my own Degree Apprenticeship. His guidance gave me a clear understanding of what employers are looking for, how to tailor my applications and CV, and how to present myself professionally, which gave me the confidence and practical skills I needed.

His sessions not only improved my knowledge of the apprenticeship landscape but also motivated me to push myself and stay focused throughout the application process."

👏 Ruby’s journey is a fantastic example of the impact targeted support can have - especially when it’s backed by partnerships between educators and funders who believe in real-world outcomes.
