Welcome Cohort 36
Cohort 36, the first intake of candidates to go through the in-person 'Boot Camp' recruitment day since before the pandemic! After an intense day of interactive tasks, shortlisting and interviews, we finally formed our 36th Cohort. We are so proud of everyone who took part in the busy day and congratulate the apprentices who successfully gained a place on the course.
Everyone has now settled into their workplaces and it's the perfect time to introduce you to them.
Meet Cohort 36 below:
